Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing.
I've never dated someone of the my same religion on a serious basis, and this fact has irriated my mother beyond belief.
What you might want to try to get across to your parents is how happy Hal makes you and get them to focus on that rather than on the religious aspect of things. Parents sometimes overlook what's really important.
I am so happy for the two of you. And I, for one, am glad you're following your heart.
Feel free to talk with me any time when things get out of hand with the 'rents. We have a lot in common in that arena.
