My Fiancé and I are from different faith backgrounds and we want to know if we can incorporate both religions into our ceremony?

Start by talking with each other about what is important from each of your beliefs that you would like to incorporate. If it is not important to either of you, but important to your parents, then speak with them about their wishes. You can then talk with your religious authorities and see if they would be willing to have a dual ceremony. If that is not an option, you can do one ceremony on the evening before the wedding. Try and choose a neutral spot to hold the ceremony and reception. I always remind my bride and grooms that this is your special day and it should be unique to you. Incorporating both faiths is just one more way to make your wedding day that much more special and memorable.
