 | Even after 50 years, my heart skips a beat when I see this picture. I think I look kind of silly, but she is absolutely beautiful! It was a time of indescribable joy. |

With Rev. Marion Beavers who performed the ceremony. |  |
 | It was very meaningful to us to have Marion Beavers perform the ceremony. Brenda had known him all her life and was very close to his wife Jerry. |
With the ceremony over, it's time to rejoice! And Wesley thinks that if we are going to dance for joy, he's going to join in!

 | This notice of our marriage license was published in the Marietta Daily Journal on 6/26/62. Sometime later Joann Brewer confided in Brenda that her mother had seen the fact that we had gotten a marriage license in the paper. |
Our first home was in Gladys Bishop's upstairs garage apartment off Howell Mill Road in Atlanta. We had one car, an ancient Volvo, which Brenda could drive to work. I rode my bicycle to class at Georgia Tech.
