In her own words......It was a hot August Day. Cloudy and Humid. I wondered if my hair would hold up all day. Everyone in my house was nervous except me. I had to help my mother get dressed, my sister and even my father (you are always so generous!). My brother was an usher and we had to drag him out of bed. He couldn't understand all the fuss. The church where we were married was huge, it took up a whole block. A beautiful church, but the isle was so long. I thought I would never get to the end of it. Also the priest was our pastor and pretty old. At the exchange of rings, he forgot to have me put Walter's on and I had to remind the alter boy who spoke to the priest. Grandpa was so nervous. I don't think he remembered much of anything. We went to Canada for our honeymoon. I didn't have a driver's license then so Grandpa was teaching me how to drive the whole way.
61 years, a true inspiration to us all. Sometime, when we see each other again, you will have to make a list of all your secrets to a long happily married life to share. Happy Anniversary!
