If you’re a couple who comes from different religions, you have to work together to figure out what type of ceremony you want to have. Do you both want pieces of your religions incorporated? Do you want to have two different officiants – one from each religion or have a nonreligious officiant? Discuss it with your partner first and then discuss it with both families. See what aspects of each religion are important to each family and decide what you want to include.
If you want to honor both religions and don’t want to have two officiants at the same ceremony, you can have two ceremonies. They could take place on the same day or on separate days. Whatever you decide, keep everyone in loop by describing the traditions and religious aspects in your ceremony programs. Do what feels right to you and your future spouse while honoring each family and you won’t go wrong.
