My husband's family is religious-Protestant- and my mother is Jewish, father, Recovering Catholic and I am what I like to refer to as a 'spiritual atheist'. With all that in mind, when it came time to make the decision to marry, I sought out judges or mayors but none would do a weekend wedding. We used the minister from his church, but had a traditonal Jewish giving of the bride and did it in a hotel banquet room. It did NOT go smoothly. Completely forgetting that I requested NO religious reference, he began with "In Jesus' name we pray". My mother dug her nails into my arm and I wanted to kick him in the shins.
So much for compromise.....
