Quote #10
It was in the last year of the war, and you can't imagine how things were then. The war scattered people to the four winds. Joey was flying B-17 Fortress missions over Germany, and so my heart lived in my mouth. Dad was doing work with Boeing out in Seattle. He and Mother were living there. Travel was next to impossible, so they couldn't be there. Even the bridegroom's family couldn't come to the wedding. (8.2)
The war makes it so that Mary Alice can't have her whole family there for her wedding—and neither can the bridegroom. (Psst! It's Royce!) But they'll take their lumps and move on, because they have no other options. When life gives you lemons? Get married. And serve lemonade at the reception.
