What To Take Into Account In A Jewish And Interfaith Wedding

By Dennis Barnes


For some people, religious tradition and practice is a major part of their identity. This is why mixed marriages can be a difficult topic of discussion. However, it doesnt always do to abide by tradition when choosing ones life partner. By point of fact, mixed unions are slowly merging into the mainstream. For instance, you might be planning with your affianced on conducting a jewish and interfaith wedding Orange County.

Religions is intuitively and undoubtedly an important part of upbringing for some people. Even if one springs from parents of different races, upbringing is not so much a moot point as long as they have the same cultures and traditions. However, this doesnt hold well for parents with different faiths. There might be certain compromising and even confrontational factors at play.

It is even a lesser thing to be wondered at how interfaith weddings are now common. We dont sweat the small stuff anymore. Everyone likely knows someone who knows someone whove married into a different sect and culture, though to some traditionalists thats as good as distinct as another species.

Anyhow, when youre planning an interfaith ceremony, the thing to consider is blending two cultures and faiths together. Bringing out the best of both worlds, so to speak. This is often the case when couples each dont want to let go of some religious blessing and symbolism on an important day, or perhaps theyre just trying to humor their parents.

That said, family dynamics can be an uber challenging consideration. Families have histories and traditions and it may be hard to get around them. This is why its imperative to plan your wedding with the presence and, preferably, participation of relevant and key family members. This will predictably drain all your ingenuity and energy, but the end result will be worth all the grind.

Complications incur if your affianced is quite a devout and churchly person as well. Then, youd have two cultures to juggle together in some supersonic balancing act. But if youve got that far in the course of your courtship, perhaps all is fine and dandy.

Even general considerations, such as the blessing and reconciling of their respective families, are hard enough all by themselves. Unanswered issues like this will no doubt cause a blight on their wedding day, and may be a ground for brewing problems and resentments. It would always do to address these issues right off the bat and right when the sentiments are fresh and raw.

Also, youre factoring in all your relationships, not least of all that with your family. Interfaith relationships may be in the mainstream nowadays, but thats not to say that one is necessarily rooting for it to happen. That is, for parents, if their child happens to find a partner among the church or sect, then everyone ends up jolly. Complications are something that one can choose to do without, if given the choice. The impending event is still something for family members to reconcile themselves to.

All this augurs your marital life and bliss. Planning it is a tricky business. But good outcomes are certainly achievable, and also certainly worth it.
