WEDDING PLANNING ACROSS DENOMINATIONAL LINES

Boston, KY---The Dovetail Institute for Interfaith Family Resources offers its information brochure: Uh-Oh--I'm Marrying Someone of A Different Faith: Practical Advice for an Engaged Jewish and Christian Couple for free.

By calling DI-IFR's toll-free number, (800) 530-1596, engaged interfaith couples can request the free information brochure which includes: a checklist to help the engaged couple discuss important issues, ideas for six wedding ceremony options, advice on what to expect from clergy, advice on how to find an officiant for your wedding, and a list of helpful resources. Couples can also request the brochure on this website.

Even couples who don't consider themselves religiously observant can benefit from this information. Non-observerant interfaith couples, especially, tend to underestimate the cultural pull of religion on their beliefs and their emotional expectations for the upcoming marriage ceremony.

"Who better to ask about planning an interfaith wedding ceremony than couples who have already done it?" says Joan C. Hawxhurst, author, editor and Dovetail founder. "This information brochure offers couple non-judgmental advice and options that have worked for other interfaith families. A wedding ceremony should reflect what is important to the couple getting married. This can be a complicated endeavor when the couple is of two different faith backgrounds."

According to the Jewish Outreach Institute, the national rate of interfaith marriage for Jews marrying today is 52 percent. In other words, more than half of the Jews getting married this year will marry people who aren't Jewish (and most of those partners will be Christians).

The Dovetail Institute for Interfaith Family Resources is a non-profit organization not affiliated with any religious denomination. Respecting the right and need of the Jewish and Christian partners to explore--without pressure or judgment--the spiritual dimensions of an interfaith household. DI-IFR provides these couples, their families and friends, and the professionals who service them, with educational and networking venues and opportunities. For more information about The Dovetail Institute for Interfaith Family Resources contact: Mary Rosenbaum, Executive Director of the Dovetail Institute, at (502) 549-5440 or e-mail at di-ifr@bardstown.com.
