IslamicAnswers.com: Islamic Advice

Aoa everyone. I want to share my issue here and need advice. I am 23 years old and I am in love and relationship with a boy for 7 years now. He is a religious person who follows Allah's orders and Hazrat Mohammad SAWW sunnah. He has changed me religiously and personally. Made me a better muslim and a better person. We want to marry each other. And we are doing everything we can. Prayers. Duas. Wazifas. Everything to earn ALLAH'S pleasure so that he grant us our dua. We even performed istakhara and the results were positive Alhamdulillah. The issue is we are not from same caste. And my family takes it as a very big deal as we are syed. His family has no issue and accepts me. What should I do? I understand our relationship is haram and we desperately want to make it legal and halal. I need help. We are mature and understand what's haram in a relationship and avoid everything that we should avoid. He lives in saudia and goes to makkah and madina atleast once every two months and is determined to marry me. Ever since my family said no to him we both have changed ourselves. I stopped doing things i loved like listening to music watching any kind of movie and reading novels. Now all i want to do is pray and read quran and make myself better so to make ALLAH happy. But my family dont even consider him. They say we cant mix our blood. What would people say. This is wrong. Their behaviour has changed with me. And if i cry in front of them they say m bluffing. I read quran with translation and founf nothing that stops me from marrying someone like him who fears ALLAH. Lemme know what i should do. My parents dont even to meet his family even though they are ready to come meet mine. Please give advice.
