Ok, my Father is Jewish, my Mother was not. My Father wanted any children he had to be brought up as Jews and any son to have a Bris. For this reason my Mother converted. She converted before their marriage and they only knew each other for a couple of years before they got married so I don't believe it took 5 years but I will ask her. She converted because she loves him and knew how important it was for him and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. They have been divorced for 11 years and she still goes to Synagogue.
Proudmummy said her DH wants a son to have a Bris and she is not willing to convert. I wouldn't suggest that he lie to anyone and if he was asked then explain the situation. As someone else has put abpve, depending on the person he may go ahead and do it anyway.
My Mother always told me that she was not allowed at my Brothers Bris and that she was in the other room with all the other women, again i'll ask her. This was 35 years ago in London but I doubt that makes any difference.
I really didn't mean to offend anyone. This is my opinion.
