We decided that we was gonna marry each other when I was fifteen years old.But there's a lot of years missing in between there. We decided to get married in the fall,1956. That was when we decided. We were supposed to get married in the Christmas season. I ordered the ring and the clothes too, I suppose, but it took a long time before we got the ring. Never got it. Never come. No mail coming in certainly, then. T'was noo mail. So in February, I finally got the ring and that come and everything got ready. The 26th of February there was a time in Mary's Harbour. We went over the 25th, come back the 26th. We was supposed to get married the next day. Rain was pouring down, so we had a stormy wedding. Rain pouring down and we came back from Mary's Harbour and the next day we was supposed to get married. It was a Wednesday. It was raining all day, and we got married around 4:00 in the evening. That was in the old school out on Loder's Point. That was where we got married at. We left after the service and had to walk from that all in across the Bottom, over through the Bottom. All around the houses, all over along the shore over by the American Barricks, where the old school was, where the club is at now. The Americans gave us everything, done everything, found everything for us for supper, they funded it all. They done it all for us. It was all ready when we got there. It was around 6:00, I suppose, when we got there to have supper. And when supper was over, the dance started and a storm come on, and a good storm too, it was, I tell you. We got caught there. We was there all night. A few people got home. Aunt Mary, Aunt Helen and Uncle Bill, they got home, but they was up there on dogs. They went over the ballcatter going down along shore. They finally got there, someone else was with 'em. A few people walked along the Bottom, but the rest of the people had to stay there all night. I don't know what time in the morning it cleared away. We got everything all ready and cleared away, and at 11:00 the next morning we got home. And that's about it, spending your wedding night dancing and sitting around in the American Barracks in there. They had bedrooms in there, in the Barracks. The caretaker that was there, he wanted us to go and take one of the rooms and go to bed. No sir. That wasn't my idea of a honeymoon. I never got no pictures. I had a camera, and some the Americans had cameras. Tow or three or them had cameras that night. But the little camera I had, I passes it along to the minister, Reverend Brett and he took the pictures, and there wasn't one come out. Not one. I had a wedding dress, a white wedding dress. Mom made by wedding dress and I had a bought veil. My wedding ring cost seven dollars, and it came from the Big Six in St. John's, it 's still there on my finger. There was no invitations. Everybody knew there was a wedding going on, and everybody was welcome. Florrie Poole and Ruby Holley was my brides girls, and Greta and Steve and Jim. There was only two brides boys. The father giver had to walk with the chief brides girl then, see. It was all different then. The brides girls just walked in behind the bride then, the same as they do now, mostly. But when they walked out the father had to walk with the chief brides girl, and the rest of them would follow behind. So that is the story of our wedding.
