Yes, after meeting Bea, Jake fell madly in love and was so much in love he decide to celebrate Pesach with her family. Once there he was fasinated and when he proposed he decided to convert, so the children wouldn't grow up confused.
Questions:
How did his parents feel about the conversion?
How did Jake react to Bea's family? (once you write this one then I can write their reactions)

Since Jake had grown up as a Catholic, his parents weren't completely sure about the conversion, but after he explained that he and Bea wanted to bring the children up with just one faith and they had looked at both options, they were more understanding. Their biggest concern? What about Christmas and Easter?
Jake was fascinated by Bea's family and culture, since he had grown up in a Catholic household. He was very interested in learning about their religion and sometimes may have asked too many questions. He's very hopeful that her parents will accept him and be willing to mentor him in his conversion.

Bea decided that even the littlest hint of Cathlicism could confuse the children therefore no Christmas and Hannukah. But her compromise to Jake was that every holiday that wasn't religious would be spent with his family. (is that okay?)
Bea's Ima and Abba (mom & dad) were at first concerned about the fact that she was marrying a Catholic. But they trusted him to take good care of their daughter and so they gave them their blessing (even though they secretly wished that she had chosen the nice Jewish boy, Lior, from down the street.
