So the prompt was to tell us about the day/s you were married. To answer Ms. Schroeder’s intent, I will tell you my favorite outfit and honeymoon, but then …

Wedding Dress

It was 1971, my second wedding (at 21!) and I wore a white, empire waist mini dress with white knee-high gogo boots. Yep, knee-high. I was tall, thin, large-busted, with long, blonde hair … it was killer gorgeous! The pureness of white mixed with hot; my kinda second wedding outfit!

Favorite Honeymoon

Niagara Falls. I loved it! Even better than the falls was the Artist’s Retreat and Park we found nearby. I cannot find a single picture, nor can I find any information online, but it was terrific. The artist in me screamed to stay!

The days I was married.

The days I’m choosing to share show the difference between my first and last marriages. The first days were horrid, and the last days were amazing. Many of the days I was in between were fine or not, but my marriage journey which started with horror, ended with happiness and joy.

Alcoholism, abuse, and rape.
