I truly didn't intend to but the remainder of the story was just too much for one post.

As I read some of the quotes from the couple, all I can think of is "ignorance is bliss" Aah, to be young. That said, it sounds like we're about to hear about dark turn in their relationship. I'm looking forward to learning what happens.

“I wanted him horribly before we were married. But now that I’ve got him, I find that I don’t want him so much.” - I wonder how many people have said that over the years. I'm looking forward to part 2.

And Mildred had what was either the innocence or the assertiveness to speak her mind about it. I will have part 2 out by the end of the week. Thank you for reading, Jennifer!

Which AI did you use to generate the image? It’s scary how life like it is!

For this image, I used Meta AI. It's available on its own page or through Facebook. It's free and works fairly well. I'm going to give Leonardo a try this week; it also generates very realistic images.

What a great "quickie marriage" story to share, Cynthia! And thanks for reminding us that the legal age for marriage at the time/place was 12 - wild!
