I can see the problem when both are not Catholic - that puts everybody (including the priest) in a tough spot.

My husband converted before we were married (to the Episcopal church). Then we both converted to Catholicism after the Episcopalians lost their minds. But - particularly once we had children - it was important to be singing from the same page. And, more importantly, it matters what you believe, and if it matters, you need to stand by it. Even if somebody gets offended.

I know somebody whose dad was Jewish, mom Catholic. They were married in a Christian/Disciples of Christ church, then became Unitarians. She became a pagan priestess. Same thing happened to another girl whose father was a howling atheist, mother agnostic. Not sure what that means, other than that it's difficult to rebel against your parents when you're not sure what you're rebelling against . . .
