just do both...i mean, take some of each thing and use them...you don't have to do all things from each faith just use some of the more important ones...i've seen people make it work like that before...respect each other's values and show interest and understanding toward both

Although you are not a methodist, are you christian? If so that can be a problem (unless you don't care that your children are not). And it seems you are willing to accept his beliefs, but is he accepting yours? And is his family accepting of you and your beliefs?
The Bible doesn't say couple should not be unequally yoked for a reason.
If you love him and all that jazz, have you agreed on having a hindu teacher, preacher, whatever you call him or a pastor or reverend? Christian weddings have some type of prayer service involved so you better find out how he feels about that.
At best, you're going to have to keep it SIMPLE. The focus should be on you as a couple, not your beliefs. That's just messy.

Wow! I don't see how interfaith couples do it. We have a very good relationship compared to the people around us, and if we didn't have God in the center of our relationship, I don't see how it could work!

find a person who is of the same faith ---- they will make it an issue --- especially when you start having kids ---- but if you don't listen then just have a civil service - non religious ceremony --- you can both have your favorite things incorporated into the service.

Though we really don't practice, I don't see why you can't incorporate both religions. Ensure they attend both church and temple and stress the importance of both their heritage. Maybe I think it should be that easy but really if you love and respect each other it should be that easy.

talk to yuor better half and hopefully the two of you can come up with compermises to make both of you happy. remember that you must give a little to get a little and give alot to get alot. you and your better half must communicate to figure this out. not us on the internet

its not a good idea. somebody has to convert. otherwise there's gonna be problems later on. my mom was raised a Baptist and my dad a Catholic, and there were a lot of problems as to what they believed in.

WOW, those 2 are tough. I think you will probably have to choose or teach both & let them choose one day.
