Marriage

We wanted to get married right away but postponed the wedding twice, for two weeks each time.

I made my wedding dress but Jody’s mother finished the piping on it. I made my veil. The Bride’s picture was taken at Jody’s house about 6ish pm.



Daddy & I had to cross the multi-purpose room (basketball court) to get to the ceremony site. They wouldn’t let the marriage take place in the chapel. Someone notified us they were ready for us so we started the long trek. I kept urging Daddy to hurry but he said “You’re the bride. They’ll wait for you.” Later John said he got very nervous when Here Comes the Bride began to play for the 3rd time! Everything finally came together and we were married in the lounge of the Claremont Chapel in Berkeley on the 24th of July 1954.
