Thank you to those supprters by the way.. i know i can ask him but he does not know.. hmm thats cuz he does not know that much about his religion... btw he father i not baptized either becaue he does not belive in it all.... I have a daughter already and his grand parents who are heavy in the religion have been so far very accepting to me... if he was baptized it would be differant.

that sounds like a good place to me. but I always dreamed of a garden wedding. Like you see in the movies.
Out side with baskets of flowers. Maybe one of those arches over where the bride and groom stand.
Another good place would be the community center that you can rent because they have a kitchen.
You are very sensitive to others that is so commendable. Because they are not the only religion that doesn't like to go in other churches. In our family there is Pentecostal, church of Christ, 7th day Adventists. and Catholics. So to let everyone feel comfortable we would go to a neutral place.
I am like you in that I would want all my guests to feel comfortable.

In many cases, the devout relatives of a Jehovah's Witness will not attend his wedding to any non-Witness, no matter where it is officiated. The Scriptures clearly instruct a true worshipper to marry only another true worshipper.
(Exodus 23:32) You are not to conclude a [marriage or other] covenant with them or their gods.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with [unbelievers]. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
(1 Corinthians 7:39) She is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
(Nehemiah 13:25) You should not give your daughters to [the unbeliever's] sons, and you should not accept any of their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.
The Scriptures also warn against elevating human desires above godly teachings.
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-3) We request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason... Let no one seduce you in any manner
(Romans 16:17-18) Keep your eye on those who cause ... stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them. ...by smooth talk and complimentary speech they seduce the hearts of guileless ones.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

Maybe you two should talk together and see which is best for your family and his family...

Thats bad advice to give to someone who about get married to a person they love. Based on Craig response, he doesn't know what a cult actually is. I'm sure he will believe anything some opposing website tells him, but it just proves his ignorance.
If holidays such as Christmas were so important, it would have been celebrated in the Bible. No family needs one day to celebrate together... theres over 300 days in a year where a family can have a good time together.

Congratulations on your marriage. Because of the religious differences , I would urge you to pray. Marriage is a union ordained by God. There are different views of marriage. Seek WISE counsel before making any decisions. You don't want to cause conflict between the two beliefs or families.
Amos 3:3 KJV
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Wow.
I have to concur with imasis2 and Craig R
I don't know what else to say but wow, because
I don't know how the two of you got together in the 1st place.
Such a hard/weird thing..... to me it'd be like a rottweiler and a penguin getting together or something.

Are you ok with letting a future child die if he/she is in an accident or has a serious disease that requires recieving blood? Your future husband would be ok with this. Learn more about JWs before making this big decision.\
Are you OK with not celebrating your future child's birthday? And are you comfortable with giving up beloved holidays like Christmas?
Are you prepared to be married to someone who doesn't think Jesus is Lord and who will teach your children that only 144,000 (or whatever number) will go to heaven? If you are Christian these things should concern you.

It depends on how devoted he is. My niece married one. They got married in a convention center. It was beautiful. I did the decor .

How about outside somewhere nice. Like by a lake or something.

Shouldn't you be discussing this with the parties involved?
BTW, if your future husband is one of JW's, he has no business marrying you, and he knows it. Ask him about it.

You should think seriously before marrying into a cult. It doesn't matter where you do it. This is a mistake. You should run away.
