According to the story shared by bridesnmoreikeja,the lady pictured below got married at 60yrs of ago.She has never been married before. Delay is really not denial!

Guys can you marry a young lady that is a single mum with two kids from two different guys?  Assuming she says the first child came when she was really young and thought she was in love with the father but then he rejected the pregnancy and fled. The second was also from another guy she was in a serious relationship with and felt they were going to get married but immediately she got pregnant he also took off.  I met a lady like this somewhere and I will love to know if there are guys (not divorced men or widowers) who can still get married to a lady with two kids from different guys?
