My First Wedding - Day 25

 I found a letter my mother wrote to her sisters dated January 8, 1945. There was a recipe for her meat loaf and she wrote, "though I'd think you'd have a hard time getting the meat."  This is because it was during the war and meat was rationed.   Mother mentioned about her sister Dolly who made a wedding dress for me.  She wrote, "It is beautifully done and Maurie (I went by my middle name then) looks like an angel in it.  We took pictures of her in it in front of our xmas tree and when we print them I'll send you one."

 Here I am in the dress

I was a Child Bride - Day 7

Oh how I loved to play bride when I was little.  My dear Aunt made me a bride's dress complete with veil and flowers.  She even bought me a cheap wedding and engagement ring set at the dime store.  

My Bridal dress I got for Christmas

I felt so beautiful.  I've lost count how many times I was married.
