Hi,
Thanks to everyone who has been helping me out with my questions..I have another one. If I can ask..how is everyone working their money situation. As far as bride and grooms parents and who pays for what. My fiance and I want to have a nice wedding but his parents don't even plan on giving us half the money...my parents can't afford to pay the rest..I was wondering what u guys think as far as that goes. Do u think both sets of parents should go 50-50 or do u think the brides parents should pay for most of it? I would appreciate any help u guys can give me.
Thanks,

Thank you Kate! NM

I saw in your profile you are getting married at the Roslyn Claremont Hotel. That's the first time I heard it mentioned on this board. It's supposed to be beautiful!! Good luck to you.

I am planning an interfaith ceremony and my first preference would be to have a priest and rabbi co-officiate. I am reviewing all related messages on this (and other!) boards to get a better understanding of what my options are. I gather it can be quite tricky to have a priest and rabbi perform the ceremony together, but I am wondering if anybody has any referrals or personal experience (or simply any enlightening information on interfaith ceremonies). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
