Kimmy, my daughter did the same....
She had eloped with a man just out of high school, which turned into a nightmare. She had a full 4 year scholarship to Univ. of Ky, and did this the week before leaving for college. He was an alcoholic/addict drug dealer, and turned very abusive to her. Despite this, she managed to maintain her scholarship, and finally left him during her third year of college. Upon graduation, she married Mitch, and is now the happily married mother of twins...my lovely grandsons, Jack and Mickey, age three. Mitch is working on his Doctorate in Education and LIndsay has managed to achieve her MA in Education. The twins are wonderful.
The planned their own wedding, which was very unconventional, in a "cigar bar" downtown Lexington, next to Rupp Arena,walking down the aisle to Frank Sinatra singing "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You!"
I hope to go visit the little twins next week (instead of the stressful trip to Canada...Thanks again, Kimmy!!!)
