This certainly is a delightful honeymoon story even though there wasn't any honeymoon in it. Not for your first marriage and not for your grandmother's second.

I didn't consciously crop out the other person, but maybe there's something subliminal in my thoughts? My first draft of this post had a lot more to do with divorce than marriage, but I like the happy memories better. <br /><br />Good luck with your book Terri!<br /><br />Thanks for the follows Dewi and Adrienne!!!

I will admit to having had a few playground weddings of my own. It was okay for elementary kids to practice polygamy apparently. Don't feel bad. My school was pretty devoid of blondes. And I never got any anniversary cards.<br /><br />"We don’t really learn anything from the honeymoon. We learn from the marriage." That is one of the wisest things I've heard in a LONG time!<br /><br />Great illustration as always!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-91961778743803981122012-05-06T08:34:49.315-07:002012-05-06T08:34:49.315-07:00I love the fact that the kid sent Anniversary card...I love the fact that the kid sent Anniversary cards.

It was a story none of the grandkids knew - he came back from WWI shell-shocked and she had to sue the government for his pension. Amazing that they grew together into the loving couple I knew. <br /><br />I've written a novel about their lives. If I ever get an agent, I hope I can share it. Meanwhile, thank you Linda for sharing your memory! <br /><br />BTW, I got married to a boy in 6th grade. His name was Terry too and we were friends for a long time. I saw him at a class reunion, happily married to his high school sweetheart.Terrihttp://www.terrilewis1.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-78614748848324205112012-05-05T14:04:18.305-07:002012-05-05T14:04:18.305-07:00What a sweet story about your "first husband&...What a sweet story about your "first husband" and a lovely friendship. Had this wedding business played out in my elementary school, I would not even have been a bridesmaid. I kept to myself mostly. The whole world of children is so strange, thinking back.<br /><br />Great story about your grandparents. I suppose he was happy being the quiet one, but perhaps was glad to have a chance to have his say when his wife was gone. Sometimes I imagine what kind of life my grandparents had, what times were like - it's practically like thinking about a different planet, my goodness. Not just technology but medicine and other things we take for granted.Cindy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14818401562297915046noreply@blogger.com
