I would have regretted it if I did agree to marry you. vs I would have regretted it if I would agree to marry you.

The correct phrase is: 'I would have regretted it if I did agree to marry you.' The use of 'did' in the past simple form is appropriate in this context. The second phrase is incorrect because 'would' is used twice ('would have regretted' and 'would agree'). This is redundant as well as grammatically incorrect.
