It is not so much as marrying into Orthodoxy as it is a matter of being Jewish according to Orthodox standards and agreeing to live as Orthodox Jews. If a Jewish couple goes to an Orthodox rabbi to get married, the Orthodox rabbi will typically investigate their Jewish status (if he does not already know it). The key question is, are both descended from Jews along the maternal line, or if any of the maternal ancestors are converts, were the conversions overseen by Orthodox rabbis. Assuming that these conditions are met, and assuming that the couple agrees that they will keep an Orthodox household, the rabbi is likely to be content. This is true even if the bride and groom are from non-Orthodox backgrounds. If the bride or groom came from non Orthodox backgrounds, the rabbi might ask them to study with him or some other Orthodox teacher so that they know what they're getting into.

How to convert from Orthodox Judaism to Reform Judaism?
Technically, there is no conversion required for the vast majority of Orthodox Jews who might want to be accepted into a Reform congregation. If an Orthodox Jew shows up in a Reform congregation and takes part in a service, they will be counted as fully Jewish without question. The great difficulties come when Reform Jews get interested in Orthodox Judaism, because Reform accepts as Jews people who are not considered as Jews by the Orthodox -- The Orthodox to not recognize the legitimacy of Reform conversions nor do they recognize as Jews those who claim Jewish status through patrilineal descent.(OK, there is one difficult class where Reform Jews might ask for conversion. The child of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father who grew up in a non-religious household would be welcome as a Jew in an Orthodox congregation but might face questions in a Reform congregation because, technically, the Reform acceptance of patrilineal descent is contingent on having a religious upbringing.)
Does a reform Jew need to prove Orthodox ancestry to be accepted as Orthodox?
No. Any Jew may become Orthodox, by dint of observing the Torah. It would be a good idea to have the counsel of other Orthodox Jews or a Rabbi; and to join a congregation. The above applies also to any former non-Jew who has converted to Judaism according to Jewish law.
Can Jews of different branches of Judaism marry?

What are the main branches of Judaism and what are the differences between them?
Judaism is divided into 3 main branches, which are Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox, although there is a form of orthodox Judaism known as Hassidic Judaism which might be described as ultra-orthodox. Reform Judaism is a modernized version in which Jews do not have to wear special religious clothing (such as the skull-cap or yarmulka) except on special occasions, and in which the demands of the religion are relatively moderate. Conservative Judaism requires Jewish men to wear their religious head-gear at all times, and requires more ritual observance than Reform Judaism. Orthodox (or ultra-orthodox) Judaism makes no compromises with the modern world, insisting upon every traditional detail of Judaism as it existed earlier in history. Being an orthodox Jew could be described as a full-time occupation. It is a very demanding religion.
What does non-Jew mean?
It means that they do not go to the sabath alot and are not strict. There are two general categories of Judaism: Orthodox Judaism and Liberal Judaism.

The term non-Orthodox is another way of referring to all of these movements within Liberal Judaism.
