Bill and I had rented a two bedroom apartment. We scrounged around and got as much furniture as we could. The one thing we didn’t have was a table and chairs for the kitchen.
So, after our wedding and before going to our apartment, we went to an auction. Earlier in the day, we had found a small kitchen table and four chairs at an auction house. We successfully bid on it. Neither one of us can remember how we got it home.
Bill carried me across the threshold to our “new abode” together. The fact that I weighed 109 pounds at the time was a big help.
There were local elections going on not long after we got married. We got a barrage of mail from all of the candidates. It all went into the “round file.” Then it dawned on me that the envelope from the County Clerk was different from the other campaign stuff. I drug it out of the trash and opened it to see if it was anything important. Sure enough, it was...our marriage certificate!
