This lady's Story touched my heart and I decided to Share .....
I got married at 35…..
Not 25…..Not 28….but 35+ ……
And before you say "finally" ……
let me tell you what “finally”cost me….
Growing up, I was the girl everyone reminded that time was going…..
At 27, my aunty said, "Vivian, if you keep being too choosy, you will end up in your father's house."……….
At 30, my own mother looked at me during a family meeting and said, "We did not train you to this level for you to disgrace us…..
Every other girl your age has given us grandchildren."……….
At 32, they stopped inviting me to family introductions. They said I would scare the suitors away…..
How!!😭😭😭
At 33, two of my younger cousin got married….
My uncle stood up and used me as a prayer point…..”God, do it for Vivian too before it's too late."😭
Nobody asked why I was single…..
Nobody asked why I said NO to the ones who came….
The one who said none of my family member would visit after marriage….
The one who wanted me to stop working…...
The one who raised his hand when he was angry.…….
The one who said "his mother will live with us and i will obey her like my god” then I said no, and they called me proud, difficult, too weak…...
I cried many nights….Not because I was single, but because my own family made me feel like a failure for protecting my peace…….and theirs😭
I almost settled….God knows I almost did at 34……
I told myself, "At least he is coming, manage him." But on the night before his people were supposed to come, I couldn't sleep. My spirit was not at rest.
I cancelled…..
My family did not talk to me for 3 months….
They called me ungrateful…..
Two months later, I met him…..
Not in a dramatic way.
No fireworks….
Just peace….. and peace alone….
He didn't ask me why I was not married at 35…..
He asked me what makes me happy…..
He didn't try to reduce me to fit into his life…..
He expanded his life to make room for me….
He met my family and he held my hand under the table when they started with their "at last" speeches😭…..
Later he told me, "You were never late….because he heard them all……😭
“You were being preserved”…just for me🙊💕
We got married at 35 and 8months…..
That’s exactly the age I got married……
Small wedding…..
My dream dress…which turned to my worst dress ever…that will be story for another day😭😭……..
No loud music, just genuine joy…….
My mother cried and said, "I didn't know you were waiting for this kind of peace”…..
So to that girl reading this who is 30, 32, 35, 38 or even 40 and they are making you feel like you are expired …..my sister” You are NOT”….
please don’t pressure yourself over something that doesn’t worth it……..
What about people who died at that 30,32,35,38 or even 40 without achieving anything or the ones that do achieved beautiful things but are late……..
I didn't get married late. I got married RIGHT……
And the right one will never make you feel like you are hard to love……
Your time is not running out. Your time is coming……
The funny part of the story is that las las everyone later cried as if I’m going forever….so these people still love me like this?….or is it that they miss will me??anyone sha…I don follow my husband go!!!!!😂
I hope this my story helps someone out there….
✌️❤️
