Did I Ask If Your Grandmother Rides a Bicycle

"Did I ask if your grandmother rides a bicycle." Random phrase? Nope. It is actually a translation of an old french saying which basically means mind your own business. That being said i am going to bring up a topic that kind of pisses me off but I now feel at liberty to discuss with the world in general. Actually there are a few and they all revolve around the same topic: my marriage to Jon. First of all, before we were married there was a lot of people who I could really have used support from who thought it was there place to tell me, I was too young to be married. Yes, I will admit that I was/am young. However, if that is my decision, support me as I will support you in your life decisons. As I like to say: Boo to haters. Secondly, someone accussed me of just getting married so we could have (should I say the taboo word?) sex. Number 1: You don't have to be married to do that Number 2: It's none of your business Number 3: That's why you didn't get invited to the wedding. Not that I believe in sex before marriage, but what kind of Christian woman walks up to a young engaged woman and tells her in all seriousness that she shouldn't be getting married and that she is only getting married for sex. Guess we know why she got married!!! Anyway, my 3rd issue is people assume that we were getting married because I was pregnant. (If we were only getting married in order to have sex, how could I already be preggo?) I was not nor have ever been pregnant and do not intend to find myself that way for quite some time. I was considering a florist for the wedding when she asked a friend of mine who worked with her if we were getting married because "he had knocked me up". We did not ever call that florist back. Seriously, if people have nothing better to do than pick apart at my marriage they really need to get a life. This is my statement about my marriage: I have never loved anyone the way I love Jon. He is everything to me. I married him because I love him. He is my best friend and my soulmate. He makes me a better person than I could be on my own. He is my other half. Marrying him was the best thing I ever did and I wouldn't change a thing about our relationship. I love my hubby.

P.S. i hope noone is offended that i talked about intimate issues. However, this has been something I want to address for a really long time now, and can now freely express my thoughts without fear of negative recriminations from outside sources.
