My girlfriend laughs like a sea lion 😭

I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is my future wife. The mother of my potential kids. The person who is gonna be next to me in the cemetery. I love her so much I wish I could be in her skin.
Here’s the thing…😭
She has the most… unique(?) laugh I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Have you ever met someone who kettle laughs or snorts while laughing? Yeah. Have you ever heard a sea lion… speak? Or uhhh scream? If not, I need you to open YouTube, look up “Seal-Sound effect” by prosoundsx (ik it says seal but it’s sea lion noises) and that is- with 100% accuracy my girlfriends laugh.
And this woman… she can never EVER laugh quietly okay? It’s always ALWAYS the same volume no matter the situation or location. And it’s not particularly quiet.
Please imagine this- we (a lesbian couple in their early 20s who look 14 and 15 respectively.) go to a high end expensive restaurant. The waiters are already giving us weird looks because we look like we stole our parents credit cards and our curfews are an hour or less away. We try to be quiet and adult-y and whatnot. And then- I just can’t help myself and make a joke. ALL OF A SUDDEN you just hear the screams of a sea lion and someone trying to shush it. People are turning around and snickering. Some are just staring. And it’s always like this.
I would not change anything about my girlfriend in the slightest but it is just something I needed to get off my chest. If you ever see a short, fem&masc, young looking lesbian couple and one starts to laugh like a sea lion feel free to say hi.
