Have you been to a partial or mixed jewish wedding ?

I am a Jew who married a Gentile. Our wedding took place in an art museum and was officiated by a minister who was a friend of her family. There was nothing unusual about it, just a normal Protestant wedding. I certainly didn't care and we dismissed the minor objections from both sets of parents as bigotry. That was 48 years ago!

You can do what ever you would like. I have only been to one mixed wedding (normally I would have not gone but it was to support the parents who have been a great help to me). They had a Reform rabbi do the ceremony, and had all the traditional elements. I did not stay for the reception so I am not sure how they handled that.

Where the two nationalities of each of the groom and bride mixed. Im jewish but Im mostly anglo saxon scottish and English lets say I was to marry a jewish young man what would a mixed wedding of anglo saxon ancestry and Jewish ancestry look like? or is that not done?
Im not worried about the future but just wondered.

If you are Jewish, meaning your mother is a Jew or you are a convert, none of the other ancestry matters should you marry a fellow Jew. Your children are 100% Jewish, just as you are 100% Jewish.

I am a Gentile married to a Jew. We had an rabbi and a Lutheran minister marry us but we had to search the whole state to find a rabbi who would be willing to be a part of such a thing. We were married in an art museum too though! At first I thought maybe my husband had been on here without my knowledge. But anyway we had a really amazing wedding.

I have only been to a Reformed Jewish Sabbath service and a Reformed Jewish funeral service. Having said that, it would be most interesting to see a mixed Jewish-Christian wedding.
