What a precious love story! Lerch and I often mention how much we'd have enjoyed being married to each other *much* younger.

What a precious love story!

Well let me continue it then! LOL!

I was eighteen when we got married and he was twenty. A woman could marry at eighteen without her parents' consent but a man couldn't until he was twenty-one so since we had no money and my parents weren't offering to pay for a wedding, we went to Carson City in Nevada to get married. After the ceremony, we decided to do a little gambling before leaving for our honeymoon. I got kicked out of the casino because I wasn't old enough to gamble (hm... old enough to get married but not old enough to gamble, go figure!). My husband however, who was not old enough to get married without his parents' signature, was considered old enough to gamble. Funny, eh?
