Hi Ladies!

I am having an interfaith ceremony- my fiance is catholic and I was raised religiously ambiguous by  my catholic mother and jewish father.  Although the ceremony is in a church, it will be co-officiated by a deacon and a rabbi with no mass.  I would like to do two readings from the old testament, as that would be appropriate for both faiths.  Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Something from Song of Songs might be nice.

    Here are my suggestions..

    I just purchased a great destination wedding book where this two readings were recommended. The book was great it has a 20 page section about putting together the ceremony. It also provides specific ceremony outline for interfaith ceremonies (Christian and Jewish)

    Genesis 2:18-24 or GENESIS 1:26-31 or Song Of Songs

    2:8-10, 14, 16a; 8:6-7a

    I think the site is called flytomywedding.com..

    We are using a passage from Ecclesiastes.  I like the Song of Songs reading as well.

    We used Song of Solomon 3:4 and Ruth 1:16.
