Such sad wedding stories!

My first wedding was pretty large for 1983 standards. Over 200 people. A lot of business associates of my parents and people I did not know. That' just how things were done back then. My parents threw it, so they could invite whoever they wanted. It was a beautiful event, but I threw up because I did not want to marry the loser. Which would have suited my parents just fine because they could not stand him either. But I was 19 and scared and didn't know how to back out. I moved out less than a year later and got a restraining order. And an annulment. But it was a lovely party.
This does not square with my perception of you. You must have changed a lot along the way.
I don't think I could ever have been coerced into marrying someone I didn't want to marry. In fact I flat out said "no" to two proposals that I knew were not going to make me happy in the big picture.

When one is 19 many times we are atoning for our sins as a teen, such as I was. Got married knowing that is what my Mother would want. I shouldn't have.

LOL, I was still a party girl at 19. I didn't calm down until I was almost 30.

Yeah well, you probably were not pregnant at 19. Although I love DS and he has been the driving force in my life to better myself and a constant supporter who lifts me up, I don't regret it as much as I don't regret having a baby at 43 with an abusive azz since she is my angel. That is my life. I am not complaining.

I was 23 when I got married.

Looking back, we were too young.

But. I'd do it again in heartbeat. I got 3 wonderful kids out of that marriage.

Thankfully no I wasn't. You seem to have done well for yourself & your kids. Be proud of all you've accomplished!
