How exciting! Isn't it strange how money isn't half so important when you're with the person you love. But how would you be able to pay for a home of your own? I can't wait to find out!

I never worried about money. We were young and I wasn't picky about where to live. It is a very good thing I wasn't. I had no idea what we were about to get into. LOL.

I remembered when I wrote about bedroom scenes I kept it mild. I guess its best to leave it to the imagination No one wants to get embarrassed especially the family members.

I certainly didn't want to upset my children. Most kids don't like hearing anything intimate from their parents. My youngest daughter didn't want to read that chapter but she did.

I do not like reading porn and I do not feel your post was anywhere close. I feel you did an excellent job describing your first night as a married couple. Thank you, again for sharing.

I'm so glad you feel that way. I didn't want to leave it out but I was hesitant about including it. Thank you so much for the review and continuing to read my story.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, I think you handled all this ' delicate' material very very well!
I even laughed when you mention your children might want to think they were 'immaculate conceptions.'
I particularly appreciate that you double spaced your post, SO much easier on the eyes.
I will look forward to your next chapter.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. I was a bit anxious about posting this but it seems as if no one found it offensive. You'll find us doing some stupid thing in the next few chapters.

Comment from Sankey
This was a lovely, intimate share. If you haven't been to the chapter about our wedding and after let me kno9w I will direct you. I not all that long ago re-edited it again with extra info from our later pastor's wife who sang at our wedding. I don't think I said this but our wedding night after we left the reception was glorious. Just one tiny spag in the Background.
The story starts with when I was six-teen and first met my husband to be. So far two years of courtship and one year of coll[a](e)ge is behind me. After a simple wedding, we begin our lives together. The

I'm so glad you continuing to read this. Thanks again. We did some dumb things after we were married. He was nine years older than me but in some ways, we both had a lot to learn.

I don't know if you picked it up but I am 9 years older than Louise she is still the smarter one though.
-
I didn't remember that. That is interesting. I don't think you two were as naive as Evan and I were.
-
Louise has always been very independent. They encouraged that then tried to suppress it later and still did even after we married. You will see more of that "controlling" thing later in my book.
Comment from Sasha
I enjoyed this immensely. That is so true, men had to know if you were a virgin but never revealed if they were. Talk about a double standard. You did a great job with this chapter and I look forward to reading the next one.

Yes there was a lot of double standards in those days. I was able to make the time a little bigger on this. I don't know what happened yesterday but I'm going back and try again. Thanks for the review. I hope you're feeling better todayl

Comment from Spitfire
You handled the intimacy quite well. His noting you were well-stacked says it all. LOL
The act itself was less earthshaking than I had hoped it would be. -- Yeap, that would be my reaction too.
However, the fact that you seemed to be finding so much pleasure was enough for me.
Same here.
Great story about 'destroying' the closet so you could have an ironing board.
Oh dear, starting a marriage with not enough money is scary.

I can't believe you've given me so many six stars. I truly appreciate them. I think we have quite a bit in common. Thanks again.

You handled it very discreetly, Beth. Reading your experience is taking me back to my own youthful days, my wedding and our early days together. I think we were lucky to have lived it all during that period in history. Well done. I am enjoying the story. Nancy:)

I don't remember if I answered this or not. I do appreciate the review and comments. It is fun to remember how things were back then. People of today are different.

Comment from robyn corum
Beth,
First, I am so proud of you for sharing the honeymoon night information! I thought you did so with class and style. Nice job.
But I am totally shocked at some of the naivety I keep running into. He hadn't gotten you two a place to live yet? You two hadn't even talked about how much money you had between you before you left??? hahaha
So you ended up with a one-day Florida honeymoon. So what? That one night was really all that mattered. If you got a bonus day afterwards, that's just icing. Thanks!

Yep, we were pretty naive. Wait until you read some of the other things we pulled. You will really see how naive we were in the next few chapters. We could laugh about them later. Thanks for the review and comments.
