Hello everyone!
To make a long story even longer, my fiancé and I are having an interfaith (he is Jewish I am non religious) and interracial wedding ( I am half Chinese). My parents are being extremely traditional and generous and are paying for our entire wedding. His family unfortunately can not afford to contribute much. As a result, there has been a lot of contention between my mother and I planning since my parents are paying. Here is the latest and I do not know what to do.
Right now our plans are to have a non religious ceremony that incorporates the Jewish cultural aspects because we thought it would be nice. As it stands our ceremony structure is planned to be held by two large laurel branch structures. My question is now, what is the protocol for a chuppah? It is extremely important to my fiancé and my mother is being not too sensitive to the ask and has suggests if we want it we find a way to pay for it because she has already planned what our ceremony centerpiece should look like.
Does anyone have advice??? At this point I have nowhere to go and I'm trying g to figure out a way to make this work where everyone is happy!!
