It was an unexpected and wonderful experience to go through the experience of getting married. However I wouldn't recommend it to the casual observer in the way we had to overcome obstacles, and some of those obstacles still remained for me. I still had to get back into my barracks. We didn't think of any of this at the time we were in Spokane though.
When we arrived at our rental place the same clerk was at the counter; and now Marianne was effusive in her praise of Spokane, all the while very visibly showing her left hand, which now had her engagement and wedding ring in place. The clerk did take a good look at her hand however. Marion and I have laughed about it from time to time.
We were hungry and ate at a moderate priced coffee house nearby. Then we decided to go to a movie and we saw a Deanna Durbin (she was a very young singer and so so actress) movie which was actually one of her best. Then we went back to our room and looked at and read again the material Rev. Hughes had given us.
The next morning we got up early, went to breakfast and toasted each other for being married one whole day! We were both very happy and we talked about what we were going to do after the war was over, including where we would like to live. I wanted two children; an older brother who could help protect his younger sister. Marion surprised me by saying she wanted a basketball team - five! Wow, that's a lot! But sounds fun. (Continued)
