If you're already having successful intercourse with her now, I don't think the meds would prevent you from getting married. Epilepsy isn't exactly catching...
The risk of a birth problem in the general population is about 1-2%. On the other hand, there is a 92-98% chance for the close relative of someone with epilepsy to NOT have the same condition!
So, even though the risk in families with epilepsy is higher than in the general population, most people with epilepsy do not have any relatives with seizures, and the great majority of parents with epilepsy do not have children with epilepsy.
