Woman who married disabled husband slams disgusting trolls who say she did it 'for money'

Earlier this month, Hannah Aylward married the love of her life, Shane Burcaw, in an occasion that should have brought nothing but joy to their lives.

However, after sharing pictures of their big day online, Hannah was inundated with comments claiming that the pictures were "photoshopped" and that she had only married Shane for money.

Why? Because Shane has spinal muscular atrophy - a serious genetic condition that causes the muscles to weaken and limits movement, resulting in Shane requiring the use of a wheelchair.

Yes, for some shallow trolls, they simply couldn't fathom the fact that an able-bodied woman had married a man with a disability, resulting in pictures of the beautiful backyard ceremony being flooded with disgusting claims questioning their relationship.

One Instagram user wrote: "I'm saying this without any apologies. I'm pretty sure this woman married him because [of] money and not for love.

"Some of us women will do anything and everything for money, even if it means putting up a front and pretending."

Another ignorant social media user typed: "But for real though... does she also have another partner for having sex with?"

And others trolls accused the pictures of being "photoshopped" or "edited".

Now, Hannah has responded to the tolls in a lengthy Instagram post to her 262,000 followers, claiming that "some people will just never come around".

She wrote: "If the past two years of having a YouTube channel have taught me anything, it’s that you’re never going to be able to educate everyone.

"No matter what you do, some people will just never come around.

"Worrying about these people’s opinions is a waste of time, and as time has gone on, it’s become so much easier to genuinely have no internal reaction to comments like these."

Hannah then admitted that comments questioning her relationship with Shane did used to cause her pain, but vowed to continue creating content with Shane on their YouTube channel in order to show people that "disabled people are worthy partners".

She continued: "A few years ago, reading words like these was painful.

"For a while, I held onto the idea that once Shane and I were married, all the people doubting our relationship would realize it was real. Now, of course, I’m not that naive.

"Although it’s taken time, I’m able to completely dismiss people like this. Shane and I continue to make content and share our story with the hopes of showing as many people as we can that disabled people are worthy partners.

"Comments like these only encourage us to continue! We’re so grateful for all of the people that our story has managed to reach in a positive way."
