Should I convert to Islam just so I can marry her?

I am a staunch Christian and have been in love with a Muslim girl for several years now. We are both in our mid 20's and we are now sure that we want to get married to each other. Her family members are dedicated Muslims and are totally against the relationship.

They have made it clear that they don't want their daughter getting married to a non-Muslim unless I convert to Islam. I really love her and we understand each other for who we are. I am however confused about this situation and don't know what to do. Please advise...
