smootnezz is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI can see that you really love your guy but be careful with the type of the love you are talking about. Does your guy love you the same way you love him? I think you have to try and convince your family and let them know that marriage has nothing to do with religion or language and they should think about your happiness in your husband and home.

 There is no way you can change their opinions.
Marriage is about leaving your family for your love to start your own family.
If you love him more than your family , there is no other way ,
except to get married and hope someday your parents will accept you back.

 Talking from experience, if either or both of you have strong beliefs, you will find it hard to get on after a while, mainly if you decide to have children.
Who will be in charge of teaching them right from wrong, prayer, morals, etc?
Think about the future carefully.
Write a list of all your common beliefs and write possible scenarios where you might clash. Then come up with solutions together. If it still makes sense, show the list to your parents and see what they say.
At the end of the day, it is your choice, but remember that marriage isn't just about you two. It's about family and children.
God bless you both and good luck!
