So since you guys wonder, I should explain the story.

My grandfather got really upset when his mother passed away. After his mother died, his father married to another woman from their village. That stepmother was a really bad person and she had beaten my grandfather a lot. As soon as my grandfather turned 17, he ran away from his home in his hometown, Trabzon and moved to another small city with high demand on labors to work on a Iron and Steel factory. He started his new life there and met with my grandmother. Luckily, they were from same village. That helped things to move a lot better. After they got married, my dad has born in that small town, where my mother is from, Karabük. They've met in a small patisserie and fell in love on their first sight. Since my dad is hasty, he proposed to my mom after 6 months. They've got engaged but couldn't get married because of the financial problems.

My uncles and my grandmother on my mom's side are conservative people unlike my grandfather and aunts. They won't let my mother and father to do something together before they got married. Even if they do, Karabük is a little place with full of familiar people that can tell exaggeration stories which will make my uncles really mad. And this will be a big trouble. So they were scared to do anything. I will keep continue telling the story on with my mother's word from now on. "One day, your dad has called our house from his work. Luckily my brothers weren't home. We've talked a lot since it was 2 weeks from the last time I've seen him. After chatting and laughing, he told me to pack myself a little bag in order to go to İstanbul without telling anyone. I was both happy and scared at the same time. Happy, because we were going to spent whole one week together, free. Scared, because I didn't know what was gonna happen when I come back. But I've accepted the offer. Little did I know, my laughters woke my father up. So he started listening to me. As soon as we hang up, I hear a little creak from the wooden floor and I know that my father has learned our plans. I turned around and he said, "Do not be afraid, I know that you want to spend a week with the man you love. You can go and do not be worried about your brothers. They might seem ignoring the man you love, but they will love him as more as you do when you come back. I will talk to them." after that speech, he gave me some pocket money. That was the happiest day of my life, so I kissed him millions of times while we both were laughing our asses off.". So they went to İstanbul, came back, and got married as soon as they could. And my uncles started loving my father a lot after that trip. In this picture, my mother is 22 or 23, and my father is 27 or 28. They are still happily married and on vacation right now!

Edit: I am really sorry for my grammar errors, I tried my best to be clear!

Edit2: Thank you so much for the gold, I really appriciate that! I can't reply one by one to every reply, but I am really gladfull for your kind wishes. I will let my parents know this support when they come back. I'm sure this will give them a big smile!
