It is not uncommon today to find couples in the need for a mixed marriage ceremony in California. Jewish Chistian Interfaith wedding is commonplace in the modern world today where individuals dictate as to whom they will marry. Surprisingly they work out very well with some opting to throw in a bit of their own traditions and customs thus rendering it as something a little different from the norm.
Judaism is a faith with many different laws and facets unlike Christianity it is sometimes more difficult to understand. Customs such as breaking of the glass has meaning and dates back centuries. Then there are the seven blessings or prayers that are recited too.
Then there is the matter of the food. Couples have to decide whether they would like to serve kosher food or non kosher food. Non kosher food is simpler but then again there may be guests who are kosher at home that may be offended.
This is a simple matter to overcome as kosher food can be bought in and served to those guests who have requested it. Kosher law is a whole set of laws on their own unlike non kosher foods such as pork and mixing meat and milk. Kosher meat for example has to be slaughtered in accordance with the law and is an involved process which must also bear the stamp of the officiating rabbinical court.
With this in mind one should be aware that when serving kosher food that meat and milk products can not be mixed together. This is in accordance with the law as it reads that a calf cannot be cooked in its mother's milk. Guests who will be eating a kosher meal should preferably sit apart from those who are not eating kosher as this may offend either party.
The word kosher means that something is legitimate and genuine but it mainly relates to foodstuffs and cooking. As said it is an easier route to use authorities and caterers who are registered with them to provide food for Jewish guests. So in short, use a kosher caterer to avoid problems.
It is purely the choice of the couple to marry in accordance with his or her religion. Choosing which one can be a nightmare especially if there is disagreement as to whether to have a Jewish ceremony or a Christian one in a synagogue or church respectively. This can be taxing on both parties so it is best to discuss it months before planning.
However some like to incorporate their traditions and customs into the service. Although saying vows is not a Jewish theme at a wedding, couples find this meaningful and will include it. All in all, there is plenty of information on the Internet today and sites that can guide the couple to enjoying the experience rather than finding it a stressful period of their lives. It is a joyous occasion for both the bride and groom and with a little insight as to the dos and don'ts of their respective religions, and with preparation, many of the pitfalls can be overcome quite easily.
