only if you have a religion.
example:

if you're christian and fell in love with a jewish guy would you convert to judaism, if thats the only way you can marry him?

No. My beliefs are very important to me and wouldn't marry someone who didn't' respect my beliefs the same way I respected theirs.
By the way - Love the Name.
I myself am above the Hoi Polloi ;) j/k

I changed religion 4 days before I was married. I was baptized Protestant as a child. I was baptized in the Greek Orthodox church 4 days before I was married. The reason for this was for my husband and our children. I was not raised in a very religious family, but my husband was. I wanted our children to have the same faith as my husband's family without argument. I gave it a lot of thought before I made the decision. I wanted to be able to participate in my children's baptisms, weddings, etc. I loved my husband a great deal before our wedding, and I love him even more now. I do not regret changing my religion for him, because I didn't do it just for him. I still am not a very religious person, I do not go to church on Sunday. I changed my religion for the family that we would have together. If I had to go back and do it again, yes, I would do it over the same.

Why would you have a religion in the first place? Would you change your religion even if you weren't "in love"? It obviously isn't important to you if you are willing to give it up for someone. If you are careful in who you choose to be your spouse, then shouldn't you be careful in choosing what you believe. I find it amazing that something weighty, such as religion, is decided on impulse as if you are deciding whether to buy a white shirt or a black shirt. Even if you aren't going to practice that religion, why are you taking on a label that doesn't describe you at all?

I did change my Church of England religion to be a Catholic when I got married, because I loved the person.

I would not change. The only way I would change my religion is if I really believed in the one I was converting to. I would never change just to get married. In all honesty, and I know it may sound stupid, I would be afraid that God would get mad and make it to where the relationship doesn't work.

if the guy realy loves u, he should accept ur religion esp if u r willing to accept his, love is an act of tolerence. its not worth trading our heavely treasures for earthly treasures. anyway the bible says be not yoked with unbelivers. the bible also says ask and ul recieve, u can ask Jesus to change his religion.

Nope, We could either accept each others different faiths... or not get married
Neither should have to change for the other.
