My Jewish daughter may marry a Greek Orthodox

[MeganD]

I'm so happy to have come accross this thread...though disheartened by what i'm readying.  I NEED ADVICE.  I am recently engaged, though have been with my fiance for 7 years.  He grew up in a GO family (though his mother grew up Jewish and converted).  They are non-observant though he and his brother were baptised and attended church when young.  My mother is Jewish and my father Episcipal.  I was not baptized and grew up celebrating all holidays though not observing any particular religion. I identify with my Jewish roots more so than my Christian
  Our relationship works, in part, because we both share a lack of religious conviction. There was never a question that we would have our ceremony outdoors with a family friend officiating....but he's suddenly having a religious crisis.  My finace's younger brother will likely be married soon after us and it will be GO.  My finace will not be allowed to be his brother's best man if our marriage is not blessed by the GO church.  But our marriage can not be blessed as I am not baptised and to do so would be under false pretences. 
  I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with this cunundrum.  HELP...and thanks

You shouldn't convert if you don't believe. Most priests wouldn't convert you for that reason anyway. He can still be his brother's best man. He just can't be the "koumbaro" who does the exchanging of the crowns. His brother can choose someone else to fill that role, maybe his father? That way it is stil all in the family. My sister was my koumbaro since she is GO and our best man was Catholic. He might still feel slighted since he won't be the koumbaro. Good luck!

we went to greece and got married in santorini.  not only was it beautiful but very easy to do.  we got married overlooking the water next to the volcano by the mayor.  as for the kids you can just choose one religion, in this case we are going with greek orthodox.

Hi all,

I am in a similar situation. I am Greek Orthodox, my fiance is Jewish and we want an interfaith ceremony. Where/how do I find a priest willing to marry us along side a Rabbi? Any answers would greatly help.

Thanks.
