Chapter 73

Wedding

Most know that Marlene married three times in all. She joked that she worn out the carpet. The first one both parties agreed it had been a mistake marrying so young. The second however would dissolve in anger and would test Marlene to her core opening the door to lessons she had no idea were to be learned but later she would understand and appreciate and provide her with the biggest growth opportunity.

It was this revised version of Marlene that I encountered and wanted to marry from the very beginning. Understanding of course the fear she had in repeating we both fully agreed we had a good thing as they say “do not rock the boat”. At least not until a trip to New Hampshire in 2018 or so where while using the elevator going to the car, she casually mentioned it.

I decided to not push it at all until she raised it again in mid 2022 and that was that. I cannot overstate enough that while the previous 21 years or so was a gift, the act of marriage to Marlene Oulton is without a doubt what I will treasure and never forget.

I’ve included a few files and photos that are wedding or marriage related. Most are in receipt of wedding photos already so I will not duplicate here but wanted to include a couple of PDFs of her writings. I’ve also attached a photo that I look at daily that to me shows how much she is loved and that she realises that fact in the photo taken.
