Mrs Care: “This was the full scope of our wedding reception. Although we did have a wedding cake that I transported to the Star Hotel from Earls Croome (where I was stationed with the ATS) on the handlebars of my bicycle.”
When they last corresponded, the bride and groom were still living happily ever after!
That was the case for our second GI bride but her happiness with her GI was but temporary!
