Love & Relationship

I've had people in and out of my life before now, but he is different. He practically stole my heart and being. I've heard people say true love doesn't exist anymore, but he defiled that saying.
The summary of the whole thing is I love him without any reservations. He is the one I see in my future. But the big deal is I can't marry him. What will my family and friends say? They'll make jest of me. The kind of wedding, house and cars we're used to in our families will not be there that day. His parents have no class and he is just the only one struggling in his family. Where will I start from. I wouldn't stand the shame and mockery. I love him but I can't marry him.
