Everyone blamed the mother for allowing her daughter with Down syndrome to marry: 22 years later they regretted it

In 1995, Marianne and Tommy Pilling were one of (if not the only) couples with Down syndrome to get married. Many then did not even suspect that their joint happy life would drag on for as long as 22 years, and every day their feelings only grow stronger.

Some time ago, Marianne’s sister created a Facebook page where she shared moments of an amazing romance, and recently Lindy spoke about this wonderful couple.

“The day Marianne met Tommy, she came home with a huge smile on her face. She kept talking about him and asked if he could come to dinner with us. They dated for a year and a half, and then Tom came to our mom with a proposal. As a ring, he presented a toy from a vending machine.”

Lindy explained that her mother approved of the marriage, despite the fact that she knew that gossip would not be avoided.

“My mother was repeatedly“ run over ”because she allowed them to get married. She explained that it was entirely their decision.”

After two decades, the public seems to have left them alone, and on the Internet, they started talking about the long-term nature of this union.

More than 15 thousand people have already signed up for the Pilling page, and they all admire their relationship:

“An excess of chromosomes. Too much love! It’s amazing how many people support this couple”

“Amazing couple! I’m so glad her mom 22 years ago had the courage to let this marriage BE. Amazing love story!”

Years of criticism did not destroy this couple, but, on the contrary, only strengthened it.

“Marianne said: “The wedding is the best day of my life. I was surprised when Tommy proposed to me, but I didn’t have to think about the proposal before saying yes. My husband and I never fight. I love him very much. He is my best friend”.

The couple lives separately, but their family is always at hand. Tommy and Marianne wish everyone in a similar situation hope. Only it helped them to build a real relationship.
