Roy and Fannie Wedding

Roy and Fannie Wedding Pic

I was spending the weekend with friends in McCrory and visiting with Roy when we decided to get married. There was no waiting period or blood test required, just a license, someone to perform the ceremony and witnesses. The deputy clerk was a friend so he issued the license although it was Saturday. Roy woke a preacher up at seven Sunday morning to perform the ceremony, and the friends I was visiting were witnesses.

Although I was dressed to go back to my school, Roy said, "You belong to me now, so no more teaching." That was before "obey" was taken out of the ceremony, so I resigned my $90 a month job.

We went to Conway to see my family and get the rest of my clothes before we moved to the farm with Roy's dad and two sisters.
