This LO is so lovely and gorgeous. I too have a grandmother who married at 15. In fact it was an arranged marriage and it endured until his death in 1986. She is now 99 and misses him alot. It is amazing how their marriage endured all those years and they truly fell in love. I love this LO alot!! Ginger
Both of my grandmothers married at 15 and were mothers by 16! One of them told me there was nothing else to do in Kansas if you lived in a very rural area, because once you hit high school age, you couldn't continue your schooling unless your family could afford to board you with another family in town! This is a beautiful photo and LO. I love scrapping the old heritage photos.
Very beautiful layout! It is so funny how marriages lasted back then, but a lot of people don't value marriage anymore! This layout is a slam dunk for sure!
I guess marrying as a teen wasn't unusual then. I recently did a lyout of my dh's grandmother who wed at 17. Anyway I love the photo of your grandmother and your layout is lovely.
oh my-I can't even imagine marrying at 15! My DD was telling me about a friend of hers who's planning to marry on her 18th bday, and even that seems so young!What a wonderful photo this is, and you've scrapped it beautifully!
What a lovely photo of your grandmother. Yes, she was young but it was not uncommom at that time for girls to marry young. This is a beautiful, sweet heritage lo, and I love your journaling.
Hi Cheryl, you did a fantastic job on this LO and I so love the old photo!!! I so love the way your lettering and journaling is done!!! Care to share your secret??? My LO's are still being hand written on!!!
This is my Grandmother on her wedding day. She was born in 1905 and married in 1920 which would make her only 15. She and Grandaddy stayed a couple until his death in 1973. She defintely looks like a little girl in this picture and I cannot imagine marrying at such a young age. This was created for the Sept. Heritage Challenge.
