A couple who used InterfaithFamily.com's Clergy Officiation Referral Service graciously shared video of their interfaith, intercultural wedding ceremony, held in a chapel at the United Nations. We helped them find their officiating rabbi, Burt Siegel. The co-officiant was Elizabeth Thorson, the groom's aunt, who is Canon of the Cathedral of Oslo in Norway. Though the couple participated in writing the wedding ceremony, they give all credit to the two officiants who worked with them to create a ceremony that reflected their personalities and values. To see all eight of the wedding videos in order, watch our playlist on Youtube.
