To some people, interfaith marriage is no big deal. Other people have huge problems with it - in some Orthodox Jewish communities, a person who marries a non-Jew is treated as dead and mourned by his/her family.

I briefly dated a Conservadox Jew when I was in college. I was a lapsed Catholic at the time. One day, pretty much out of the blue, he DEMANDED that I convert to Judaism or he would dump me. I told him where he could stick his attitude, and we immediately broke up. (The irony is that I did later convert to Judaism, but for my own reasons, and through the Reform movement.)

Interfaith marriage can work out well if (a) neither of you has a problem with the other not following the same faith, (b) you've agreed on what religion (if any) to raise your children in (if you want any), and (c) your families accept your choice of interfaith marriage OR you're willing to put up with their comments / complaints / threats to boycott your wedding / etc.
