It’s long been known that she was pregnant before they married. No one cares.

She was born six months after the wedding.

When was the engagement announced?

I swear I think “how many months pregnant was Nancy when she got married to Ronald Regan” was a Trivial Pursuit question back in the eighties.

Going through our family tree for Grandma's 100th birthday we (my cousin and I) discovered our grandmother, the eldest, was born about five months after the marriage.

She looked at me, I looked at her. Both of us said, "I am not telling her!"

We skipped that part of the narration.

Ronnie and Nancy were formally and publically engaged to be married before Nancy became pregnant.

And that seems to clear that up.

Thank you.

1) Kudos for glossing over that little detail.

2) She probably knew.

3) The term “shotgun wedding” exists for a reason.

4) Not every couple that got “in the family way” before marriage needed that kind of persuasion to do the right thing.

5) In most cases that I’ve heard of from “back then”, the marriage worked out just fine.

Undoubtedly she knew but no reason to bring it up.

We did show her the picture of her when she was just fifteen wearing a flapper dress posing by a car. She earned the money for it working as the cosmetics counter girl at the local drug store. She looked at it, looked at us, smiled and said "Your grandfather was very fond me in that dress!"

We kept that in the narration.

Patti Davis has been slandering her parents for 40 years or more because she perceives that they didn’t pay enough attention to her.

Jane Wyman divorced Ronald Reagan because she thought he was boring. I doubt there was ever any pact. She probably didn’t care what he did.

Patti pity party has cried the blues for years because she says her Mom and Dad were so crazy about each other she and Ron Jr were left out.
