Generally, the answer is no, if the marriage is going to take place in a church. An Orthodox Christian is responsible for raising the children, if any, in the Orthodox Faith, even in cases of mixed marriages, so a non-religious person may not be comfortable with that. However, there are exceptions, and it may be best to check with your local Eastern Orthodox priest or bishop about any specific requirements they may have.
Yes. But if you want a church wedding, you may need to ensure that the priest is willing to proceed on the basis of "don't ask, don't tell" about the non-Christian belief. However, in many countries, a civil wedding can be an attractive alternative. Modern civil weddings are often performed by civil celebrants in the location of your choice.
== == == == The Greek Orthodox Church doesn't approve of marriages outside of the Orthodox faith.
If an Orthodox person marries a Christian of another denomination, the wedding must be performed by an Orthodox priest to be recognised in the Orthodox Church, and the children should be raised Orthodox.
Marriages to non-Christians are frowned on even more. Such a marriage may result in the Orthodox partner losing their right to receive the Sacraments, particularly the Eucharist. The wedding may also not be in an Orthodox church.
