[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

I was raised Catholic and my spouse is Jewish. To have the marriage blessed and validated in the eyes of the Catholic church you will need a dispensation and will have to go to some marriage counseling classes, and pay some dispensation fee etc as part of that process.

The Church will not officiate this wedding inside of a church. I also believe it cannot be officiated in conjunction with a mass. If I remember correctly a priest could be present at the ceremony but it needed to be in a non denominational setting and the priest provide a blessing vs officiate the ceremony. Ultimately just contact your local parish and explain your situation and they will point you in the right direction.

The church recognizes the laws of moses and thus allowed for a Jewish ceremony but good luck finding Rabbi to officiate this wedding: impossible to find an orthodox Rabbi, nearly impossible to find a conservative Rabbi and you can find reform rabbis to perform this ceremony.

We got married in a Jewish ceremony, under a Chuppah, by a reformed rabbi, in an outdoor setting. All approved and with dispensation in hand by the church.
