It won't be an easy relationship if her parents dislike you. But if you treat her with respect and are consistently courteous to them, well, there are no guarantees.

Thank you. I hope not. I will never disrespect her father regardless of how he feels about me. I am hoping that one day he will like me. If not, as long as it doesn't affect us, I won't really care. But I am pretty big on family. I certainly want him to like me. I won't lie about that. I am big on family. I am half Italian. We're family people..

The greatest threat to this relationship not working out is her, not her culture or her father. You are so infatuated right now you cannot see this clearly. Sure, the details are different when you date someone from another culture but ultimately, the success of a relationship comes down to two people and it's no different regardless of who is involved.
