Ask the Wedding Goddess: Interfaith Love and Marriage

Dear Wedding Goddess,

Many clergy people refuse to conduct an interfaith marriage ceremony, or at the very least are uncomfortable with the idea. What is your personal philosophy on love and marriage?
- Interfaith Bride

Dear Interfaith Bride -

My philosophy is that love between two people is their business and their choice. Love between a couple adds a dimension of holiness to our world that cannot be categorized by religion or culture.

I believe a temple can be created wherever there is love. I believe in soul mates, and feel that the couples who are meant to be together have the ability to see one another through the eyes of the soul. That allows many feelings about "differences" to melt away.

Are there challenges? Yes, for some couples. But I have also witnessed many couples rise above them and successfully blend their beliefs into married life.

Many Blessings, Rev. Laurie Sue
