Breastfeeding bride nurses infant during wedding ceremony

When Christina Torino-Benton sat down in the front pew of Resurrection of Our Lord Church for her wedding, she was hoping for a perfect day.

But then her 9-month-old started crying.“It’s happening,” she told fiancé Danny Benton, according to the Huffington Post.But the bride-to-be wasn’t even fazed.

“I tried for maybe two minutes to allow some family members to calm her down, but having missed her nap, and in that heat, it wasn't going to happen,”she told People.“There was no question. I had to nurse, and I wasn't hesitant about it at all.”

Conveniently, she was wearing a strapless dress, so she just pulled down one side and started feeding baby Gemma right there in the front row.

Afterward, her daughter fell asleep and stayed quiet for the rest of the mass.

“The people at my wedding were not surprised with me feeding Gemma mid-ceremony because I’m always feeding her at some point or another in front of them,” she said.

Nursing in public hasn’t always been an easy decision for the breastfeeding bride.

“When I first had Gemma, I would find a room in the back somewhere and just quietly nurse her in a chair or if someone were to walk in, I'd turn around,” she told TODAY.

“I was very nervous and shy at first.

“Then I realized that taking care of her needs is way more important than possibly offending anyone else.”

That’s why, when it came time for her big day, the Montreal mom had no compunctions about taking a little time out for her baby.

“This is something that has become so natural in my life that I didn't even have to think about it,” she said. “She needed me, so I was there.”

Afterward, Torino-Benson posted a candid photo of the moment on a breastfeeding Facebook group.

“That moment when you're getting married and your baby gets hungry ;) feeling SO proud of myself! Fighting that good fight,
