SATURDAY 22nd JULY 1978*** WE GOT MARRIED

By now we had Hoped to be living together on our own, but we were still with my Nanny at her House, but things were going OK!

I remember I stayed at my Mother's House the night before the Wedding and Susan was at her Mum's, I remember the only person (Parent Wise) who was happy we were getting Married was Susan's Mum, the other 3 Parents did'nt like the in-Law or wanted us to get Married!

See picture above, The Happy Couple ( me and Susan) ha ha, and the other 2 people are Susan's Mum and Nanny, Susan's Nanny would be in our Lives in the not to distant future!

Anyway the Wedding Day didnt get off to a Good start, my Mother drove me and my Sister's to the Registry Office about 5 miles away, and we got stuck in a Traffic Jam about a Mile away, so we had to get out and Walk to remaining distance to the Registry Office! What a Fool I felt!

Anyway the Day went well, but my Father never turned up! and Susan's Father came to the Registry Office, but went straight back to work afterward's!

So no surprise there then!

We had the Wedding Reception Party at the Mother in Law's Bungalow and Susan's Brother made the Wedding Cake, and everything else went Great!

So at last we were Married and looking forward to the Baby being Born!

One thing I remember happening that day, was Susan's 2 elder Bother's gave me a Friendly Warning about Looking after Susan in the future !!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR ELSE!

PREGNANT, MARRIAGE AND A LET DOWN!

We were now into Spring time in 1978, Dates I must admit are a bit vague around this time, as we had alot of things happening around this time!

As Susan was Pregnant and due Early September, we had alot of things to sort out "where to live" "marriage" and of course our "Baby"

We arranged to get Married in July, nowadays it seems nobody gets Married, but just live together!, but back then, it was completely different, although we had already talked about Marriage, the event of Susan being Pregnant, speeded everything up!

Both Families were not Happy, to say the least! my Mum didnt like Susan, my Dad was alright to her, Susan thought the same of both of them!
I didnt like Susan's Dad, but did like her Mum, and basically that's how it was back then, and how it has been for most of our lives!

Susan's Mum was the only one, that was always alright to us!

It was also around this time that we found out, that the Promised Rented Property we had hoped to move into, fell through!

So now we had no where to live, Susan was about 5/6 months Pregnant and we were getting Married in about 2 month's time!

Could things get any WORSE!
