Do you? Do you? I do! I do! And we did! My marriage proposal was accepted and our engagement proceeded according to cus- tom. The wedding date was set and arrange- ments were made for the ceremony to be held in the chapel of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church on 55th Street and 5th Avenue. Our rings were purchased in the jewelry district, on West 46th Street and 6th Avenue. A blackout of silence was still in effect from Marsha's parents who remained strong- ly opposed to the union. But Marsha's moth- er, bless her, had not counted on her daugh- ter's adamancy to follow her own heart or deny Cupid and my martial urgings.
