Trying to figure out ways to mix my religion and my fiancee's religion into our wedding plans. I'm Wiccan/Pagan and he's Christian. Any ideas?

Let me add that we are both very open-minded and neither of us had problems with the other's religion. I just want ideas on how to imcorporate both into our wedding.

let me also add that we don't want kids, so that's not a problem.

I was in that boat.
I had a Handfasting during the day, and the Church ceremony at night.
An easier way is to get a High Priest and have him do the Handfasting on the reception site and make it sort of "non denominational" for the stiffs.
That way no one is offended. Statements of Intent are very beautiful and personal.

Congrats on your wedding! I do not follow any religion very strictly so I don't have any ideas I just wanted to say I hope you and your husband are very happy! Maybe you two can research together and each pick your favorite part of the ceremony from your own religions and preform them both?
..and to everyone who is giving stupid answers on how they should not get married...do you all really think shes gonna call off her wedding because of a few closed minded religious people on Yahoo! Answers??
Well again congrats and best of luck!

Ooh, you could do an old fashioned handfasting! I'm not a Christian or a Wiccan, but I know handfastings are a Pagan ceremony that I've always thought were beautiful, and I think could be incorporated into pretty much any religion.

Wow, what a complex situation. First of all, he cannot be Muslim and Hindu at the same time. It doesn't work that way. The very basics of being Islam prevent him from being Hindu too. And if he is drinking alcohol he certainly is not practicing Islam well. I think he needs to find himself, establish an identity and decide what he wants before he gets into a relationship with anybody.

The most important thing about a marriage is the union. Your ceremony could include rites that bind you to each other.
I've always liked the mexican-catholic tradition of using a lasso (rope) to bind the bride and groom. The lasso is premade and has two loops, like the infinity symbol. One goes over the brides head and rests around her waist; the other is placed over the groom. They stay joined by the lasso during ceremony.
It's pagan. (the european catholic church doesn't include this tradition.)

Wish I had some ideas for you. Although, I'm dying to make a joke about broom jumping, I won't. But we have plenty of Wiccans on here who might have some ideas.
Geewiz, I have never seen so many hateful answers on here.

Discuss what elements are important to each of you and compromise. That is what marriage is about anyway.
Brightest Blessings to the both of you!!!

There is no way to mix that.
Does he know that you are a pagan?
Is he a born again christian?
Please seek the council of both your pastors or whatever yours is called and see what they say on how to go about this marriage. I feel it is wrong for you both as I don't see how two people who believe so very differently will choose how to raise and teach their children should they have them. Also, you wishes as to when you die, etc. I mean there is so much that comes with marriage.
I wish you both the best.
I just worry about this situation for you both.

there is nothing wrong about your proposed marriage with a christian woman as long as you love each other and can understand each other. just understand and be considertate ab out her being a christian and she should do the same to you as pagan and pretty soon after long years of being together youwill arriv e at the conclusion to9 be one in all matters of liofe as husband and wife

Please do not bother about so called "religion". We are human beings and have only one religion , i.e., humanity. Your hearts are together and thats what matters and nothing else. Best wishes and cheer up.
