i did just that very thing. well... first i left my religion, lived in 'sin' for a year and then married him.
my father did not come to the wedding.... my step-father walked me down the aisle.
we did not marry in a church, we married outside..... his excuse for not coming was that he couldn't get the time off work.
i'm his only child and he couldn't get even the day off to walk me down the aisle?!?!
obviously, i may never be able to forgive him for this.
my grandmother, his mom, would write me letters telling me how she had to go to a psychiatrist b/c of what i was 'doing' to her.
what was i 'doing' other than choosing to live my own life, right or wrong?

I was raised in a Christian home, and the man who is now my husband was an atheist when we first met. When we got married, he was agnostic. I was sort of a non-religious theist who was studying Buddhism, but missing Wicca, which had been my religion for six years.
My family said nothing about it. And they still don't.
As a sidenote, I'm now a Christian, and my husband is a non-religious theist.

My family would not care because my family is made up from different religions

My girlfriend is of a different faith than me, and she will someday be my wife. What my family says is irreleveant, since I am one of the very few surviving members of the family. My parents died when I was in my teens. Had my parents lived, though, my mother would have very strongly disapproved. However, I will not throw away a very long-running and beautiful relationship over a difference in faith.

They wouldn't care. My family is a living definition of religious diversity.

They wouldn't care, they aren't particularly religious. I think they'd be more concerned with HOW he believes (is he an extremist nut or a mellow casual believer) than WHAT he believes.

Well I don't have a religion, so they wouldn't really care- more holidays for all!
