Reddit reviews CELEBRATING INTERFAITH MARRIAGES

I'm sorry, wedding arguments are terrible! The whole thing makes people so tense, and the stakes seem so high..

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with interfaith weddings. I did find this book: Celebrating Interfaith Marriages: Creating Your Jewish/Christian Ceremony by googling, but you've probably done all that already.

The thing I can understand about your mother's point of view is that the words "Jesus Christ" can have negative resonances for some Jews in a way that the words of Jewish prayers will not, I believe, have for Christians. However, it is your wedding, not your mother's, and so your feelings should matter more - how you can convince her of that, though, I don't know.

(Can you have Chrisitan prayers without using the words "Jesus Christ"? Or would that be too much of a compromise? Or is not the words she's objecting to, but just Christian prayers in general?)
