I am newly engaged and I've already run into my first road bump. I am Greek Orthodox and my Fiance is Catholic. Personally my family did not go to church much but my father's side of the family is all very Greek (think my big fat greek wedding) and he grew up in the church. Although he didn't attend services regularly he did attend a lot of events, coach church basketball teams, etc.
My Fiance on the other hand does attend church regularly and so does his family.
I'm having a hard time as my Dad is really adament about baptizing the future children Greek, and keeps saying my Fiance wouldn't have to give much up because the religions themselves are very similar. But I do feel like I would be asking him to give a lot up to practice his religon in a differnt church.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? It's really not just about the wedding as raising children in one church or the other and the opportunities they are provided in either church.
