You may marry whomsoever you want, if the law of the land says you can.

You need to bear in mind things like whether or not the churches involved will excommunicate you: Not in this case.
Will, if belief is important enough to concern you, the marriage work in practical terms? I'm assuming she's "7th Day Adventist", so do you go to her church one week, her to yours next week? Alternate months? Spend all weekend in church - hers Saturday, yours Sunday?

Can you adapt to the dietary differences? I knew an Anglican married to a 7th Day Adventist. She (7DA) finally learned to cook him pork chops - but literally held her nose while doing it and wouldn't stay in the room while he ate them!! And he liked a drink and to smoke - both 'no-nos' to her!

If it was a Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist or even Roman Catholic girl - I'd say no problems. The practical differences are almost as much as marrying a Jewess or muslim, however.

There,s nothing stopping you just cos you're different denominations.

I strongly advise against it. It is very difficult to stay in a marriage like that. I know what I'm talking about, believe me. The "I'm in love" thing comes and goes in marriage. You're not always in love. But you do love in varying degrees. You are not perfect. You won't have a perfect marriage. Better to stick to someone in your own faith. Better to be safe than sorry. You both might end up hurting each other and your ownselves faith in God.
