     two separate ceremonies?  

I am a Jewish woman marrying a Catholic man. Rather than having a religiously-neutral ceremony, we were considering having two separate ceremonies, one in a church and one in a temple. Is this something that is done? How would it work? Do you have any suggestions for this type of situation?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It has been done. There are complications in that the Catholic Church will require that you raise your children Catholic. Also, you will need to find a temple open to intermarriages, as many are not.

If that is what you want, begin the process. The right solution for you as a couple will reveal itself. Whatever happens, remember to keep love first. Let it be your beacon light.

Blessings,
