Assalaam Alaikum. I have recently embraced Islam.

Assalaam Alaikum friends. I am (rather was) a Hindu and I am in love with a Muslim girl. We have known each other for 3 years, have been the best of friends are deeply in love with each other and want to get married. No surprises that her family is against this. I decided to read the Holy Quran to get more perspective and found out that I believe in what is written in the holy book. I always have believed in the oneness of God, I believe that Prophet Muhammed (SAWS) was Allah's Messenger, I do Zakat, I am keeping the fasts during Ramadan and I pray to God as well. This leaves only pilgrimage from the five tenants of Islam which I plan to do some time really soon. I would also like to say that I am doing all this wholeheartedly. The girl may be the reason, but I believe in what I am doing is right and is by the will of Allah. I will follow the tenants for the rest of my life. Am I eligible to marry her now? Her family still seems to have a problem, but now they are being unreasonable and not giving any reasons. :mellow: Please help me friends. Am i missing something? Am i on the correct path? Ramadan Karim to all! Allah Haafiz.
