Hypothetically, in that if this ever happened it would be years in the future, but if it did happen, what sort of things should I expect? For the marriage and events surrounding it, that is. I'm totally accepting of her religion, and she's totally accepting of mine, the only people who may protest are certain members of eachothers' families. I'm not really knowledgeable about all of the customary details and all a Hindu marriage entails. Do any Hindus or experts on that religion have any information I might find useful?
BTW: I'm actually a Unitarian Universalist and only vaguely Christian, so I'm not hard-set on getting married in a Christian church or by a Christian pastor, or dressing in the traditional attire. I'd be totally happy getting married in the Hindu style, if thats' allowed.
Also, PLEASE, no mean-spirited comments.

I am a white Christian married to a Hindu man. I had both a Christian wedding and a Christian wedding to celebrate with both sides of the family.
It can work , but the religon can be a barrior, actually the only barrier. My husband is much better and more loyal than most white men and i never regret marrying him. The only thing i do regret, is the religion being different because as i try to step up in my faith, it's hard to do it alone. But that part is a small regret, overall it was worth it by far :-)
For the future, you need to make sure she does not want to move back to India for any reason (if that is where she is from) . I did not discuss this with my husband before marriage, and now here i am in India with his motherbecause his father died. He didn't insist on living with his mother, but i told him i would try it. He did insist on living in India for a while. So here I am and i really miss America, but my love for him is worth me being in this country for a while.
Indian women are usually quiet and not loud mouthed like us american women. They are also conservative and are less likely to cheat on their husbands if treated right.
Good luck :-)

before everything get clarified that Hinduism isn't a faith. it somewhat is a custom, custom, custom and way of Hindus' lives in Hindustan (India). It has no limits, obstacles or regulations. All Governments' acts, rules, regulations, regulations and each and all of the concepts verify it, its casteism and no pre or submit situations for being & ultimate a Hindu. A Hindu is often defined in all Acts, regulations, regulations and Courts' judgements with the aid of fact the single that may no longer a Jew, Christian, Muslim or Parsi. different than them anybody is a Hindu despite if no longer prevalent to him. None can convert to Hinduism yet a Hindu could include a faith and nonetheless stay a Hindu through nativity. Neither Christianity faith nor Hindu custom helps such marriage. even yet it somewhat is registered decrease than the particular Marriage Act 1954.

One of my teachers (female) was Unitarian and she married a Hindu guy. Hey if you are happy thats what matters. And if you truly love each other, and your families love you then they will accept it.

you are free to marry non-believers but if you're a true Christian, you will believe that it means your spouse is not saved and will be burning in sulphur, if she/he does not get converted before death. Why would you want to live with that pain unless you didn't really believe in what a Christian is supposed to?
then again thats your choice. I'm not even bothering to convince you against your decision. I'm just laying out the cards for you on the table. Good luck.
