Could be either…totally ambiguous…shows the importance of aiming to be accurate in communicating.

It means, “I’m proud that I am married to him.” If you look at the construction of the sentence, you see that you’re proud of marrying him – you’re proud of having married him – you’re proud of the fact that you are married to him.
If the other meaning was implied, instead of the ‘of’ there would have been an ‘I’m’.

This phrase shows importance of words in the English language. It’s exactly why so many words are necessary.
Ain’t it a beaut?!?
