I’m Jewish, but I’m not very observant. My fiancé is agnostic and was raised Christian. Before we got engaged, I didn’t think much about the specifics of a ceremony. When we got engaged, I was surprised by how important it became to me to have at least some elements of a Jewish ceremony incorporated into our wedding.
