“Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we didn’t want to lose each other, was one morning in September we woke up and decided to get married.”
She said she did not wear a wedding dress, wear make-up or have a wedding ring at the low-key ceremony.
