This was not the stuff fairytales were made of, but they knew all along that this must be the way. No elaborate affair, not now. The joy of the occasion muted by their fears for so many friends, missing, unaccounted for. With tears in her eyes Joey let Madge adjust the veil, with a sombre expression, she walked up the aisle on Jem’s arm, noticing the missing faces as vividly as those present, and with a catch in her voice she made her vows binding herself willingly to Jack, the only person in whose arms she would ever find comfort.

That is very moving Carolyn, and probably horribly accurate of war time weddings

Thank you

How sad, and yet how moving, as so many wartime weddings were.

TRhanks, Carolyn.

Beautiful and painful. It must have been such a strange memory for them to look back on.

Thanks Carolyn

It must have been so sad for Joey not to have had all her friends there.

Very strange - a time of intense joy in the midst of such horror

Thanks Carolyn
