AN INTERABLED couple whose wedding pictures went viral have hit back at cruel trolls.
When Winston, 35, and Mayfair, 23, met at a networking event in 2018, neither were thinking about romance, so the bond they struck up was initially platonic.
But in time, romance blossomed.
Mayfair said: "Winston is handsome, but it was when I really saw who he was as a person that I began to fall for him." A year after meeting, the pair confessed their feelings for one another.
Because Winston has a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) - a skeletal disorder causing bones to become brittle - part of becoming a couple was a candid conversation about what his disability would mean for them.
"I had questions like, 'Can we start a family?'
'Can we have an intimate relationship?'
Winston was gracious in explaining everything," said Mayfair.
From there, their relationship went from strength to strength, and they got married last August.
Their wedding pictures unexpectedly went viral - which led to some nasty comments.
Mayfair was dubbed a "golddigger" and accused of cheating, while Winston was called "selfish" for being with her.
They also deal with judgment in the real world, with some people asking intrusive questions, or assuming Winston cannot speak for himself.
Happily, though, the couple, who document their relationship on YouTube, recently discovered Mayfair was pregnant and are now committed to being the "best parents possible." Mayfair said: "We know that there is a chance that the baby could have OI too, but Winston has proved that a disability doesn't have to mean anything about your quality of life.
