We married January 1955, DH was in the Marines and scheduled to go to Korea where the war was winding down on. We were never 'officially engaged' but we knew we'd marry someday. 56 years later DH says it was the best decision he ever made, or most likely the one I made for him, LOL!
May in Jersey
PS. He didn't get deployed as he expected, was in the States til Sept. and by then I was pregnant with our first son, Bob, who was born while DH was on a sub waiting to go to war with China.
