I'm an atheist and married another atheist. That actually would have been a deal breaker for me, because I wouldn't convert and pretend to worship something I didn't believe in, nor raise my children to believe nonsense.
Marrying someone of another ethnicity I have no issue with though. It's bound to make life more complicated at times, but the world is gradually changing and making things like that easier. Here in Australia at least it's not such a big deal any more.

Yeah, I have a few relatives who went on holiday and met their future spouse overseas.
