We had chosen a date for a June wedding. Well, why wait? An Easter wedding would nice. In those days, we didn’t have Spring Breaks. For Easter, we were out of school Friday through Monday. April 15 sounded good!
We planned a very small wedding. It took place in my mother’s living room in front of the fireplace. It was a pretty fireplace, even if it was fake! We borrowed folding chairs from the school to seat some of the guests. Not many attended. Only family members were invited.
I had a gardenia corsage. To this day, it is my favorite flower. The smell is heavenly! (To my surprise, 40 years later that is the flower Meredith chose for her wedding.)
My brother, Jim, was in seminary at TCU at the time. He was given special permission to perform our ceremony. “Two I dos and an amen,” is how we’ve always described it.
We had a very small wedding cake and punch. I really can’t remember if we had anything else. Things were somewhat of a blur!
