I know this aint the best place to ask, but i cant find anywhere else. Maybe someone can help, or point me in the right direction.

Me and my indonesian girlfriend have made plans to get married next year, and the subject of islam and circumcision has come up.

Has anyone gone through this? I understand i need to be circumcised, and take on the muslim religion. Are these - essential to each other? Ie ... can i not become muslim before being cut? This has left her very upset as i cannot get cut before my next trip.. its just too soon. In her mind, this stops everything? we cannot get engaged, we cannot plan the wedding? etc etc etc...

long shot asking on here i know, but i am so lost and confused right now.
