Resolved Question: Need help planning Muslim wedding….? 11 Mar 2010, 1:42 pm
So, My fiancee is Muslim and I love the culture. I’m trying to study it so I can make my own journey into Islam. But we want to make our wedding have a Islamic feel to it. Like with our clothes and decorations, etc. But we can’t find anything we like. Please help us send some links, some stories and any information you have or know about a Muslim wedding. Thank you, and peace be with you.
Resolved Question: Wedding ceremony dilemma, advice? 11 Mar 2010, 1:30 pm
Background: I’m Catholic and my fiance is Muslim. Neither of us are very religious. We’ve been together almost 3 years and Islam holds no new surprises for me. He grew up in a Christian neighbourhood, so we’re very comfortable about this. We’re also in our 30s and yes, he has Canadian citizenship (long before we met).The problem is this: I want a religious ceremony. No one in his family has religious ceremonies. I don’t want JOP. Islam allows men to marry Christians (and Jews) and so it is easy for us to have an Islamic ceremony. Here, this ceremony is registered with the government, so it would be our official wedding ceremony. I very much want to do this (the ceremony is nice) but no one else is really thrilled about it. I’m willing to deal with that since my fiance is backing me (although he would rather have a courthouse wedding). I would rather not get married than have a courthouse wedding.My mother however is insisting we receive a blessing from a priest. But she doesn’t live here, and I don’t have many priests on my rolodex. My fiance’s sister knows a Protestant minister, who happens to be gay, who might do a vow exchange and blessing to give my family and heritage a healthy nod. But…well it’s not that I care that he’s gay, and my family doesn’t care about people being gay in general, but a gay minister is perhaps too much for my countrified and very Catholic family.I would say to hell with it and just have the Islamic ceremony, but I’m having visions of walking down some kind of aisle and finishing off with a big kiss, and I guess I just don’t want to miss out on that. I don’t really want to pay for two officiants, but I will if I have to. I’m feeling rather pulled apart on this, to the point where I haven’t bought a traditional dress yet (only the one I have for the Islamic ceremony), and my wedding is only months away.Thoughts on how to arrange things?@ Vic, Jewish boys don’t marry shiksas 
I guess some people don’t know, but you can’t have a Catholic wedding with a non-Catholic. No priest would marry me to a Protestant let alone a Muslim. Beach?Re: the minister’s sexuality: it’s very obvious. Very.Blunt: I don’t know where you get your info from, but I don’t HAVE TO convert to Islam to marry a Muslim in a mosque. Ever. This is never the rule for women.
