Each couple is different - you can have just about anything you want at your ceremony!
Anyone can marry you - if they are a notary in that state or ordained to marry anywhere.
My husband and I have very different backgrounds - his family is Italian and more Catholic, mine is Irish and more laid back and not very religious.
We chose to do what was best for us as a couple (we aren't religious) - and had a close friend marry us on a yacht (she is a notary).
Everything worked out wonderfully and we were so happy!
Each couple choose what is best for them - and really, the sky is the limit to what you can do!What is a marriage ceremony like between people of different traditions?
It is common to have 2 officiants at a wedding. One from each persons faith. The 2 officiants will work together to form a ceremony specialized to the needs of the Bride and Groom. But some times the 2 different spiritual leaders won't work together, and that is when the couple will have 2 separate ceremonies. One for each faith. You see this a lot with Christian and Hindu couples.
If both parties are agreeing, they usually do things from both traditions in the ceremony and reception. I went to a Jewish/Christian wedding 2 weeks ago and they said everything in Hebrew and translated in English, and they incorporated both traditions such as the glass stomping and other things like that all combined. It was really nice!
I was a bridesmaid in a gorgeous NYC wedding where the bride (my friend) was Catholic and her now husband was Jewish...it was pretty cool! They had a Rabi AND a Priest marry them. It was like any ceremony, but with more flare :o)
