[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you really need to count your blessings here. I am a Christian married to a Jewish man now for 25 years.  I would never have converted to Judaism nor would DH have converted to Christianity. That your future DIL is willing to do so speaks volumes of her willingness to put your faith and culture above those of her family's.  She is going to do her best to raise their children in a Jewish home.  Aren't you glad that you will be able to share your traditions with your grandchildren?  If your daughter is right and does not marry, these may be the ONLY grandchildren you have.  You will be their Bubbe.  I also suspect that the reason there is no "rehearsal dinner" is to spare your and your husband's pride since that is traditionally hosted by the groom's parents. That welcome dinner with the rabbi? THAT'S the rehearsal dinner.  I understand why you are feeling hurt and sad. Weddings being out a lot of feelings, good and bad. You know what would be really loving?  If you start telling your immediate family how much you are looking forward to the wedding and start saying nice things about your future in-laws.  Then, at the welcome dinner, give a heartfelt toast to your son and his bride on how lucky you both feel to be there and celebrate with them. It will be worth it--you'll see. [/quote]
