Intro

Hello! I'm Caitlin. I am 22 years old and getting married in October.

I got pregnant at 17 and was pretty much pressured by my now ex-husband to get married. Guess I should have taken that as a cue to run the other way and not look back. I was divorced by 19 and didn't really know what to do or think- luckily my best friend went through almost the exact same thing, and we learned along the way that being divorced young does NOT mean you are damaged goods.

I am now 22 with two kids. FI is young too- 24, no kids, never married. I learned at very young age how to be a strong, independent young mother. Lucky for me, I met my FI who adores me, my kids, and my family (and the feeling is mutual in all parts).

I have lurked a few times and love the 'its normal' thread. I have had new feelings of insecurity, resentment towards ex-husband (and myself), and fear of what's to come.

I am excited that I now have a chance to 'do it right'. I love my fiance' for the RIGHT reasons, I will have my church ceremony and reception with all of my close family and friends, and I am so excited to start my new life.
