Hello, my name is Lily and I am 18 years old. I was born and raised in a small town in the Midwest. Growing up, I always felt like an outsider because of my unique personality and appearance. I've always been obsessed with fashion and pop culture from the 90s. I love wearing bold colors and clashing patterns that make people do a double take. My messy hair is always dyed in bright neon shades, and I never leave the house without my signature angel wings.
As a teenager, I struggled with self-esteem issues but found solace in modeling. I was discovered by a photographer while walking down the street wearing one of my crazy outfits. He saw something special in me and encouraged me to pursue modeling as a career.
I'm standing here today in a beautiful church, dressed like a 90s popstar with angel wings on my back. I'm pregnant and naked underneath my bridal gown, but that doesn't bother me one bit. I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart who has always supported me and my crazy ideas.
I'm laughing and giggling because this whole experience has been so surreal. Being pregnant and getting married in the same day is a dream come true for me. I never thought I would find someone who would accept me for who I am, but my husband loves me just the way I am.
Being naked underneath my dress feels liberating and empowering. It's like I'm saying to the world that I am comfortable in my own skin and don't need to hide behind clothing to feel beautiful. This is who I am, take it or leave it. And everyone here seems to be loving it!
Despite all the challenges I faced growing up, I never lost hope that one day I would find my place in the world. And now, standing here today as a pregnant bride wearing angel wings and feeling so blessed, I know that everything happens for a reason.
