My maternal grandparents were married on 28 November 1942 at Blessed Sacrament Church in Trenton, New Jersey. My grandmother looks so happy in this picture, but I remember a story she told about how mad she was at my grandfather and her brother that day. Evidently, my grandfather showed up to the wedding feeling pretty rough after my great-uncle had taken him out for a night of partying. It seems that as the years went by, she found the whole thing pretty funny, because she told the story with a chuckle in her voice. My grandmother took life as it came and had a great sense of humor.
Recently my mother gave me the handkerchief that was carried by my maternal grandmother, my mother, my aunt, my sister, and me during our weddings. I look at it and see all the beautiful memories of those days. Someday I hope to put it in a shadow box with this picture and some more of the things I find from my grandparents' wedding, so I can look at it and think of all the beautiful memories of them.
