A marriage should be a happy occasion for everyone, but it seems the former Disney star has to defend her remarriage decision amid the hated comments.
- Oct 11, 2017
AceShowbiz - On October 7, Tiffany Thornton shared good news on Instagram, announcing that she is now married to her longtime family friend, Josiah Capaci. She captioned it, "Best day of my life 10/7/17." However, it seems like people don't agree with what the 31-year-old actress said. Many critics said that she shouldn't get remarried less than two years after her first husband, Chris Carney, died in a tragic car accident.
She then posted another photo of her wedding and captioned it, "This. This is love. That all encompassing, enduring, accepting, near perfect love. The kind that trumps my need to snap back at people who have the audacity to comment on my Instagram about whether I loved my first husband or not," responding to the criticsm that she got.
Thornton added, "There is no timeline for grief or for when God moves in your life in undeniable ways." She also remarked that she did not completely forget Carney, saying that she was a mess. "So many emotions flooded my heart as I walked down those balcony steps to the arms of my gift from God," she stated. The former "Sonny with a Chance" star continued, "I thought of Chris watching us and knowing he would have loved the choice I made, for me and for the boys. I thought of Chris's amazing parents sitting front row and how much of a blessing they have been and will forever be in our lives."
Thornton also made it clear that it wasn't her choice that she fell in love with her new husband, stating that it was God's decision. "Looking back now I think God saw that if I went too long without love that it would become increasingly difficult for me to submit to the authority of a husband after being set in my own ways," she wrote.
In response to critics that said she didn't love her first husband, she wrote, "When I say, 'Jo is the Greatest thing that's ever happened to me' that in no way indicates that I didn't love my first husband with all that I had. How dare any of you judge me and say that on a social platform." Thornton added, "I will always love Chris and Jo knows that."
She concluded, "God's timing is not our own. And I praise Him for that. You should too."
Her new husband Capaci also posted a photo of their wedding, remarking how happy they are throughout the ceremony. "This is exactly how we felt all day. All smiles. All joy. All grace. All God. So thankful for MY WIFE!"
Let's wish a happy life for the couple.
