And about the Jewish wedding thing...I'm not sure if that's true cause all of the weddings I've gone to at temples both people were born Jewish or had at least converted. The few mixed marriges I've gone to have been judge related.

Religion is so personal, and frankly I would be suscpicious of someone who is willing to convert just to marry. For me it would be like giving-up a part of my identity (I know it's not the same for everyone). Changing deonominations to a similar kind of church is one thing, but chaning ones entire faith is a very drastic move. I know that it was necessary before for reasons of state & all that, but I just don't personally agree with it -- not unless the individual in question really believes in what they're doing. Just my two cents worth.
With regards to Luxembourg, I don't know if the younger Princes will be prohibited from mayrring non-Catholics, although there will, no doubt. be pressure from the family to marry within the Church. The family is very Catholic, after all.
Off hand, was 'Princess Joan' of Luxembourg a Catholic, or did she even convert?
