ÇÉ!
É WOULD LIFE TO LEARN SOME THINGS AND YOU SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE TOPIC! I AM A GREEK AND GREEK ORTHODOX GIRL AND I AM CURRENTLY DATING A ROMAN CATHOLIC GUY. AS THINGS ARE GETTING SERIOUS, AND MARRIAGE MAY BE IN SIGHT, I NEED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING:
1. IF I WANT TO GET MARRIED THE GREEK ORTHODOX WAY AND HAVE MY CHILDREN RAISED AS GREEK ORTHODOX WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE? I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT BEFORE THE GREEK ORTHODOX WEDDING, BY LAW, HERE IN GREECE, THE NON ORTHODOX, NON GREEK PARTY MUST SIGN PAPERS SAYING THAT THEY WILL HAVE A GREEK WEDDING AND RAISE THE KIDS AS GREEK ORTHODOX.
2. OTHERS SAY THAT THE OTHER PARTY(NON GREEK/NON ORTHODOX) MUST CONVERT COMPLETELY TO GREEK ORTHODOX. IS THIS TRUE?
I WAIT THE REAL VERSION OF HOW THINGS ARE FROM YOU.
