THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS IS YES!!!!

"Never Instead Of, Always In Addition To"

 

 

Personalized, New York Ceremonies by Rabbi Roger Ross & Reverend Deborah Steen Ross

Individually or together we conduct joyous, spiritual, traditional and nontraditional, Jewish, Christian and Interfaith Weddings, Same-Sex Joinings, and other Lifecycle Ceremonies.

 

One of the most important things to consider when saying "I DO" is how will your wedding ceremony reflect what it is you wish to say, both to each other and about each other, to your guests. Will your ceremony be a traditionally religious one, or do you wish to bring parts of who you are into the ceremony? Will it be sweet and romantic, spiritual or cultural? Can you have it all?

 

THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS IS YES!!!!

 

How Can We Conduct a LGBT Marriage? The Real Question Is How Can We Not?

 As Allied members of the New York Pride Agenda and Pride in the Pulpit, it is our outreach to the GLBTQIA community to support Gay marriage in whatever way we can, by performing marriages in the states that allow it and commitment ceremonies in the states still to see the light.

 

Custom Designed Interfaith, Traditional, Pagan & Spiritual Ceremonies

 It is our joy and our blessing to offer Interfaith, traditional, pagan, and spiritual ceremonies, as well as designing a ceremony just for you and your beloved. We perform ceremonies separately and together and are always ready to travel to help you have the ceremony you have always dreamed about.

 

We believe that if God/ess brings together two people to be married, who are we to say no we will not marry you! We are here to say YES!

 

Ten Things Interfaith, LGBT Couples Might Consider

1. This marriage is about you first; your feelings, levels of religion/spirituality, comfort. Your ceremony should reflect what you wish to say. Do ask both families for input, but the decision is ultimately yours.

 

2. Remember, never instead of always in addition to!

 

3. Do you wish one Officiant for your ceremony or would you like to have one representing each of your faiths? (i.e., a Rabbi and a Priest, or one Interfaith Minister.)

 

4. What do you want your ceremony to say? Do your homework.

 

5. Do you wish to add cultural parts to your ceremony as part of your heritage?

 

6. Are you planning to have children? How would you bring them up? In which religion? Both religions?

 

7. Speak up ask questions of each other, of us, and of all those involved with your special day.

 

8. Understand that there are few prohibitions against LGBT and Interfaith marriages in the major religions of the world.

 

9. Gay and Interfaith couples bring greater intention to their marriages than most couples who share the same beliefs.

 

10. Remember that your wedding day should be the most fun you have together as a couple!

 

Until that moment!
