Assalāmuʿalaykum Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh
In the enquired scenario, we are unable to issue a Fatwa of permissibility in respect to your intentions since the vast majority of Shias hold such beliefs that render them out of the fold of Islām. We, therefore, do not condone such a marriage.
Furthermore, it is not sufficient that a person merely recites the Shahādah and believe in the Oneness of Allāh ﷻ that makes him a believer, but rather a person must believe in other aspects such as the Qur’ān being complete without any missing verses, Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ is the last and final messenger of Allāh ﷻ and ʿAlī (may Allāh be pleased with him) is the fourth rightly guided Caliph, all the companions of the Prophet ﷺ are true believers and will enter Paradise, the Prophets of Allāh ﷻ hold the highest status even higher than any great Imām, and so forth.
