Marriage between a Muslim man and a Protestant woman

Question

Hi everyone,
I am a sunni muslim and I live in the US and I met a wonderful Protestant girl at the same age a while ago. At first, we were just normal friends, but over time, things changed. We started sharing more, the looks between us changed, and we realized we have deep feelings for each other. Now, we are seriously considering marriage.

I want to ask: Is this truly possible, or will it be too difficult? And if it's possible, how do couples usually navigate the challenges ?

I also want to be clear about our home environment. For example:

 I don’t eat pork, and I’d prefer our home to be pork-free.

 I would like to listen to the Quran sometimes at home, and of course, she is free to practice her faith and listen to her hymns or read her Bible.

No alcohol

Will that cause any problems?

+  I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with interfaith marriages or understands the Protestant perspective on these boundaries
