You must do what is right for you. Follow your heart. Do remember; family is forever. Think about why your parents really are apposing this marriage. Make a list of the pros, and cons to this marriage. I married someone from a very different religion, and we learned to get over it. Marriage is all about two people living as one. There will be many things over the years you will have to compromise on. It helps if you're from similar religious backgrounds, but if you really love one another, you can make it over this hill. You'll soon be on your way to another bump in the road of life.

Yep, and move far away. If you are happy with her and can live without your parents, then it's all settled. Since religion can be a very touchly issue, it's pobably best to not expose your family to your choice or throw it in their face. Sometimes families will forgive over time. Most won't and who is it that you'll be spending the rest of your life with? You may spend a lot of time with your family, but you certainly won't share a house 24/7 with them.
Obviously this is a lot to give up for one person. I hope you have made sure your girlfriend it the 'right' one for you and that you can live outside of your families religion.

If you need to ask a question like this then you are not ready for marriage. If you truly loved her then you would be certain in your mind about her and not have any doubts.
Don't get married yet, you need to become a bit more independent from your parents first after all you will be the one living with her not your parents.

If she's Christian yes,,WAIT no really, I'll give you an unbiased answer. The most importat thing is that you and her are on the same page, not your parents, the Bible says in Genesis that a man shall leave his father and mother and CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE so yes your parents should not pick you wife,
But I highly reccommend becoming Christian and Lutheran (Miss. Synod)
Good Luck and God Bless

It depends.
If you are a Christian, and she is not, you should not be unevenly yoked, as it will create hardships for you.
If "she" is a Christian, she should not marry you, if you are not, because of the same reason.
But if you do marry her, and your a Christian, then you should try to convert her, and she should be willing to accept the LORD as her Saviour.
If not, then you shouldnt marry her at all...
I wish you well..

Perhaps you should give your parents more time to get used to the idea, and to convince them that you're serious. Have they met her? Will she convert to your religion, or isn't that important to you? If she's 'the one', go for it, but be prepared for problems with your family. It's better to have them on-side.

Yes you may marry, if both of you can asure each other's parents that you will respect each other's religion, after marriage.

Who is getting married? You or your parents?

More info would have been helpful, but I will try to answer.
If you really love her, go ahead, but I wouldn't suggest it.
Why not also simply ask your parents what they find so objectionable about her?
That might help.

yes as long as you both love each other, after all your happiness is far more important then to live by your parents wishes.
