The Wonderful memories

This picture reminds me of yeaster years, what a wonderful memory I have of my husband Ray Harper and me, we were just sixteen and nineteen with so much to learn.
I remember when I met him, he had already told his foot ball friends that he was going to marry me, but of course I didn't know him, had never seen him so I didn't know that information until after we were married. he set up the blind date with a friend of mine which he also knew.

We got married thirteen day from the day we met. It was certainly a strange world for me for I knew nothing of marriage, I learned very fast, things I never knew but my husband was learning also. We grew up together since we were so young. I remember when we got married on May 15th 1954 we went to the Floridian hotel in Tallahasse Fl. five dollars a night it cost us. We couldn't even get into the place for that today. It was a new experience for the both of us.
We didn't know that we should talk about certain things before we got married, we just got married and let it all happen. It makes it harder when you don't talk about marriage and relationships, babies and etc. but we didn't know to do that. We didn't know what relationships was, at least I didn't, I didn't know you called it relationship, I called it marriage,we developed a relationship later which is like putting the cart before the horse. My husband made $35.00 every two weeks so we didn't have much of a honey moon, one night, thats all we could afford.

Those are precious memories for me and mean so much to me. He was a wonderful guy and I
learned to love him so very much. God was so good to me when he gave Billy Ray Harper to me.
