 You cannot change or control how people think about this issue.
You should let them have the freedom to think whatever they like.
What you can do is to love her and concentrate on her rather than on those who do not agree with you.
You cannot solve other people's problems.
It is their problem and not yours.
Have fun and enjoy life together with her.

People adjust over time when they see you are happy. I have been in exactly this situation. I married my husband. he is twenty years older than me. The one warning I have is THINK carefully about the longevity of this relationship. What happened to me? It came back to bite me years later. We were fine for many years but then the difference in ages began to show dramatically. We grew apart, mostly on my side. There was a lot of guilt for me about this as my husband is a good man but in the end, our relationship died. So for now, be assured people eventually accept your relationship for the most part. But if you are looking for something more permanent... and she may be. Think about life in 20 years' time. It is not good. My marriage failed in the end.
