My parents were married February 6th and I arrived April 13th the same year.

My father's mother did not approve of the marriage, and did not give her consent to it, and my father would not go ahead without it.

He was in his mid 30s at the time, but she was a formidable woman.

I don't know why she changed her mind.

I never really got the chance to ask as my parents always pretended that they were married the previous year.
