So, I feel as if the people I count on the most for support are sort of abandoning me.
I'm young - 17. My fiance is 20, and in the Navy. We're both very religious, and avid churchgoers. I am practically family with the pastors, an I'm constantly doing things with them and their kids.
However, it seems as if not only they are abandoning me, but as if they look down on the idea of us getting married. As if we are too immature to fully grasp the concept.
They know what we've been through, in our lives. Yes, we're young. And we will make mistakes. But I believe we are atleast mature enough to warrant them not berating us on our choices in life.
Recently, another young couple was married. Both in their early twenties. However, the church announced it months prior, and everything was joyfully celebrated.
Its only four months to the wedding now, and they havent announcd our engagement, as if they hope we'll brake it off. Whenever someone learns about this, they comment on how young I am, and how big of a descision it is.
I'm not very happy about all of this, and its the only thing stressing me right now. I dont know what to do about it, other than grin and bear it.
It is, however, very frustrating, since every aspect of our wedding is in the church.
The ceremony is in the church, the bridal shower, the reception, everything. I feel as if we're being met with opposition at every turn.
I just needed to rant, and thank you all for actually reading this.
