Yes.
Judaism does not proselytize or seek converts, but it does accept sincere converts. Conversion for marriage is not a sincere reason. Once someone has converted properly, a Jew (Sephardic or not) may marry them.
Conversion is a life-changing and very serious undertaking and a potential convert should think it over carefully. It must not be done on a whim or because of temporary circumstances. One who converts is expected (from then on) to live as a Jew.

What is a Sephardic Jew?
Sephardic Jews (Sephardim) were the Jews from Spain and Portugal. After the Muslim conquest of Spain in the eighth century, many Jews fled to Spain in order to escape persecution in Christian Europe, knowing that they would be well-treated under Islamic rule. They became known as Sephardim (Spanish Jews). By the fourteenth century, Spain was once again back under Christian rule and many Jews were converted to Christianity. The remaining Jews were finally expelled from Spain in 1492, and resettled in Islamic Northern Africa and the Middle East. Many of them were absorbed into existing Mizrachi (Arab Jew) communities, while others retained their separate identity as Sephardic Jews. Since the establishment of modern Israel, both Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews have been encouraged to identify simply as Sephardic Jews.

The term is used to distinguish their culture, traditions, and typically the Ladino language they speak from other Jewish groups.
