Marrying someone who isn't a Christian . . .?

After I'm done with grad school I'll probably marry my boyfriend, who isn't a Christian, but I am. I want to hear from the experiences of people who are in a "mixed marriage" and particularly how you dealt with a hostile church and/or Christian friends if you experienced this. I'm not looking for people to quote the "do not be unequally yoked"; or for every random Christian to spout their opinion about it. I am specifically asking for people in a marriage with someone who isn't a Christian. I've got friends who have already hashed over everything you could tell me, so I don't need to hear it from random strangers. I've come here, because even though all my Christian friends say I would have a horrible marriage, none of them seem to actually know anyone who is married to a non-Christian. Anyway, any comments from the targeted group would be appreciated, and comments outside of that group will be met with open hostility. Thanks for respecting me.
