Just got married

Maria

I got the marry the man who stole my heart on June 24th. I cannot express enough how lucky I am to have married the most amazing person. I was kind of hesitating on sharing this picture but I just couldn't help it.

Love story time:

We began dating in 2012 when I was 15 and he was 18. We grew up in the same church but I guess it took a while to notice each other. He asked my dad for permission to date me before we made things serious. I didn't want to be just another girl to him or him another guy I wanted a life partner. Fast forward a couple years to December 23, 2015 he asked my parents permission to marry me and that's the day we got engaged. But let me tell you you would assume people would be happy that I was making the choice to be happy and do things the "right" way but as soon as I announced our engagement to people we got so much negative feedback. Instead of them being happy we were told to think it through before jumping into this. That we are too young and still need to enjoy our lives. Mind you we were dating for a while we didn't move in together we wanted to get married before doing so. So we didn't want to wait to be together anymore. We also wanted to start our own family already. I still don't understand til this day why so much negativity but I wanted to follow my heart. In May 2017 we find out we are pregnant and decided to keep this to ourselves as long as we can because we don't want anyone to rain on our very happy parade. Baby was planned btw. We couldn't wait any longer to start our family. We suppose if people are gonna be negative one way or another we might as well be happy with our choice instead of pleasing people.. January 6 I Will be expecting another life changing event and I wouldn't change it for the world. We are anxious to welcome our little one into our lives. ❤❤

Don't let anyone keep you from doing what you want to be happy. No one will understand you like you do. 🌼
