Our family isn’t really supportive of us because we’re lesbian and they have religious views. My mom was originally gonna help pay for our wedding that we wanted to have in October 2020. We’ve been together for 8 months, and got engaged 2 months ago. I told my mom I would like to start planning my wedding within the next 6 months. I told her I was super excited about it all and she didn’t say anything... and I said “aren’t you excited?” And she said “what is there to be excited about when y’all haven’t even been together long enough?” To me, time isn’t anything. I was with someone for 4 years and it wasn’t true love, I was abused mentally and emotionally. But someone ive been with for only 8 months treats me right and respects and loves me. At this point I’m just thinking about getting eloped. Because no matter if we wait two years or not, our family won’t ever really be happy because “it goes against their views”. I just want to marry the love of my life.

What are yalls thoughts? Is it too soon to get married? Does time measure love? Should we elope??
