Can a priest and pastor share the same wedding ceremony?
I am starting to be tied together in the church as well as my fiance would similar to the rite to be half finished by the clergyman as well as half by the pastor. Is this possible?

I’m not sure if it’s possible to do half and half (assuming that when you talk about a priest you mean a Catholic priest). But it is possible to have both a priest and a pastor present at the ceremony. One of them would be the main officiant and the other one would only say a prayer or give a blessing.
Talk to both the priest and pastor and hear what they have to say.

It is rare, but if the priest and pastor do not have a problem with it than it can be done. You just have to work out what you want each of them to do during the ceremony. I have been to a ceremony that had two different pastors leading it. It will be a little harder because it is two different denominations, but not impossible. Just ask around. Good luck!!
