The Quran says that it's possible, but why would you want to? Accepting another individual's religion based on love for the individual, (as opposed to the religion), is surely disaster. You will be the odd duck at religious and family meetings, provided he attends these events, and if he is very religious, you can believe that he will compel your children to be muslims. It sounds like you should consider his religion more thoroughly before you dive in. I am a Muslima and I know from the inside what can become of good-intentioned people marrying without understanding who they are marrying. Changing religion is not like changing clothes, it's much deeper. And if you are 18, of course you can marry without your father's consent (in the States, anyway), but are you willing to risk your religion AND your family?

U cannot have a Christian Marriage unless both the parties are Christians. Similarly u cannot have a regular Muslim marriage unless both the parties r Muslims. To get over the problem, normally law provides for Civil Marriages.

Any two consenting adults can get married (as long as one is a man and one is a woman, in most places). In the US, you can get married at the courthouse with no religious ceremony at all. You may want to find a place of worship that is open to both of your personal reliefs. For example, the Unitarian Universalist church accepts ALL kinds of faith, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and many others. My spouse is Catholic and I'm Jewish, and we both feel at home there and were recently married in a UU church.

You can get married without converting and without your fathers consent. A justice of the peace can perform the ceromony.
My parents have different religous backgrounds and they are still happily together after 50 years of marrage. Congrats on the great news, and I wish you 50 + happy years.

you should wait on God to send your husband, I believe that you husband will be of the same religion as you, so that you shouldn't have to convert to anything. Why would you leave Jesus Christ to convert to something you obviously don't agree with. Is it at all possible that your husband will convert to your religion? Stand firm in God's word and the bible says to pray without ceasing. God will reveal to you what to do get in his presence and let him speak to you. God Bless You!

it is possible to marry anyone of another faith, but you need to ask yourself these questions? How will this effect our relationship? Will children be involved, if so what faith will we raise them to be? Will this have a hindrance on medical procedures if either of us are deathly sick? What about holidays? You can marry a man in prison , but how successful with the marriage be? You have to look to the future, not just how you are feeling now.How will this effect your relationship with your parents, do you have their blessing?

Anything is possible. But what religion will your children be? His or yours? if religion was important to either one of you, you'd find someone who shared your faith. Since neither you or him bothered to do that, I doubt religion will play a role in your marriage until you have children, at which point you will have some pretty major issues to deal with, especially at Christmas.

You can't have a marriage in his religion's eyes, as you don't exist in Islam. You can have a Christian marriage if he agrees to certain things, which he won't.
You're looking at a civil wedding (performed by a judge)

That IS a huge problem. I'd have to say leave it up in God's hands. Just pray about it and see what he'll do.
