The most beautiful thing about young love is the truth in our hearts that it will last forever" - Atticus Ever since I was about 16, I wanted to get married and have children. Seems pretty weird for someone at that age, but that's just what I wanted. A few weeks after I turned 17 years old, I started dating the love of my life. I had met him before when I was 14 and he was 16, but we were never anything more than friends. A few months after we started dating, I knew he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Seems cheesy right? But no, I had this feeling of overwhelming warmth and love within me whenever I thought of him. I finished highschool and we moved in together. We both had to work very hard in order survive. We had dead end jobs and we weren't going to prosper but still we kept on going for two years. After this he got a job in another part of the country and we packed up everything in a week and moved. The salary isn't more, but the company is bigger and will enable him to qualify in his trade in a few years. All these changes put us in a better place and one morning he asked me to go for a walk with him. We started walking and there was this hill that he wanted us to climb up to. Finally reaching the top, out of breath and almost dying, I saw the view! We saw the ocean, all of the houses, the mountains and it looked amazing. When I turned around, he was on one knee, with the ring his grandmother gave him  and some flowers he had just picked. I said yes and I never felt happier in my life. I never looked at what it costs to get married before this and I almost had a heart attack! We do not make nearly enough money to afford some of these things. We make just enough to support the two of us. My parents live in another country and I would also love to be able to pay for their plane tickets to come to the wedding. I never thought about the costs of a wedding and we are still going to try and save as much as we can. The wedding is in a while, but when we book and pay things months in advance, they become less expensive. This money includes the venue, wedding rings, wedding dress, parents plane tickets and their stay. Please help us make our dream wedding a reality. I want to believe that I'm not the only one who believes in true love at a young age and would love to be able to celebrate with all of our friends and family.
