Really confused what is right..
Hi, I love a guy. He is from different religion. I am sikh, he is Brahmin. We worked really hard to convince our partners for marriage. Now, that our parents are convinced and we are talking to fix dates for marriage. I am becoming more aware of each other's religion and culture. None of us really religion so never discussed much about it before. We never even thought it to be a problem in future. He sometimes mentioned that his parents are orthodox but I never knew what orthodox exactly means in Hinduism. But now, am I getting to know his parents I feel I cannot fulfill their expectations from the daughter in law. Whenever I discuss this with my boyfriend, he either say to deny the marriage or keep this conversation for future. But I am really confused and scared about me being a misfit in their family. Can someone please suggest something.

Its natural to have these questions and reservations before making such a huge decision.  But it is important to know before you get married whether or not certain things are a deal breaker for either of you. You could make a list of pros and cons if you go ahead with marrying him.
Next Steps
You could go in for individual or couple's counseling and see if you two can get on the same page.
Health Tips
Pre-wedding jitters are normal but if you can't have a conversation with your partner about what's troubling you, that could be a red flag.

Hi, it looks like something is worrying you about settling down with the person you love. You are worried about whether you will be able to adjust with his family after marriage and meet their expectations. I understand that the thought of getting married and adjusting into another household can sometimes be worrying particularly when the way you think is different from the way his family thinks. Do not worry you can consult with a psychologist. To feel better you can think of doing what feels right for you. You can also think that your happiness is more important than anything else.

It looks like that your are confused and fear taking up the  new  responsibiliies also.. Yes, in our society, there are few expectations, which a bahu is expected to fulfil.. And the transition into a different Religion, it involves a lot more effort.. You need to have a better clarity take a decision about your future life..
Next Steps
I suggest you to consult a psychological Counselor /Therapist.
