We did it! SO is now DH. STBSkids are now real life step children.

We eloped and it was very sweet and special and exactly what I wanted. A pretty dress that looks like a water color painting, on a little stage in the forest in front of my parents and a few friends. Quick, easy, peaceful and inexpensive. Loving.

OK so some advise needed... Quick recap, been married for 3 years DH has 3 kids 2 are bio kids from prev marriage one is his ex wifes from a prev marriage whom he adopted and raised, now 22 y/o. The BM HATES ME and has done all she can to keep the other 2 kids SD 16 and SS 17 from talking to us. Here lately she has even stopped allowing them to come over to our house bc she thinks we are a bad influence... why i dont know???
