So marry in the Catholic Church. You don't have to convert. Your girlfriend will have to promise to bring the children up Catholic.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's really, truly unfortunate. I know that there are differences in the ecclesialogy and some differences in theology, but there's sufficient similarities that we (the two churches) shouldn't be fighting like this.
His daughter's husband is not his choice, but rather hers. Likewise, her beliefs are not his choice, but rather hers.
Question, does she have to convert to be married to you? And does she want to convert just for the sake of the wedding, or out of belief?

You and your girlfriend should decide where you want to get married and how you want to get married. If the father disowns her because of this, he is an ******, and you shouldn't give grave consideration to what comes out of *******.
