My parents chose this date to marry in 1944. So glad they did because my brother joined them in 1946, and I came along in 1948. We were blessed with parents who provided us with love, experiences, and Christian values.
My mother put together this shadowbox which held precious mementos and memories of her wedding day. She included the gloves and hat she wore that day. There's also a letter from my dad to "Barney"(her nickname) several days before their plans to marry. [How I would love to read the entire letter but don't want to bother the contents my mother's shadowbox.]
The marriage license is at the center of the display.
Essie Mae Barnes and Elmer Ward Crum
"Barney" and "Cookie"
Lucky me!
