My tween daughter and I just watched the old movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding on cable and it made me think that falling in love and deciding to get married to the one you love may require you to convert to another religion just like what Ian Miller (John Corbett) did in the movie. His fiancee, Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) is a Greek Orthodox and for them to marry, Ian had to be baptized as a Greek Orthodox.
Changing or converting to your loved one’s religion is a serious matter. It is something you need to think about before taking the plunge and you need to talk to your loved one about it.This is to ensure that there’s no resentment that builds up afterward.
If you are uncomfortable of converting or both you and your spouse-to-be are not religious, an alternative is to get married by a judge and then have a big wedding reception party afterward.
Good luck!
