Everyone was disappointed.

Would it have been more valuable if it broke? Is it the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera ? The glass that is ceremonially broken at the end of a Jewish wedding? A plate which fulfills the same role at a Greek wedding?

The (female) pastor at the church I grew up in married a Jewish man. Their wedding included a mix of Christian and Jewish traditions, including the glass being broken.

Then again, I think my synagogue had an interim rabbi once who married a non-Jew. She may have converted though. And he was a terrible rabbi. He threw cake at me and told a 96-year-old man who told him to speak louder that he should "get a hearing aid". There's a reason he never became a full-time permanent rabbi anywhere.

I figured they were allowed to marry. Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 17030 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Friday, May 04, 2012 - 5:48 pm:        Ah. I'm not sure; I think it varies by denomination.
