Hi all,
I was born in the Catholic Church and attended service regularly for 10 years before my family started going to non-denominational. Well, long story short, as an adult I attend Lutheran church with my fiancé (he is Lutheran). And I have been attending for 7 years now.
We are getting married NOT in a church, but our brother in law is a Lutheran pastor and is officiating us.
My question is, do I have to be Lutheran to be married to a Lutheran man? I would assume if I was getting married in the Lutheran church I would, but it would just be a Lutheran pastor and no sacrament. We figured this was best because we both have strong ties to both our denominations (though I am a floater and go to multiple denominations). My family is VERY Catholic and are very set in their ways.
