My grandparents circa 1948, laying in the grass at Montgomery Bell State Park. They were newlyweds, and their faces say it all.

My grandfather’s best friend married my aunt Hazel (grandmas sister), and that’s how they met.
My uncle Ed brought my grandfather down to meet my grandma and they took the girls on a date to The Arcade in Nashville, TN. It was love at first sight.
My grandmother said she was sad when he left for the war (when they were just dating) and that she dated another young man while he was gone, who she says was very sweet but she knew she’d marry WL when he returned home.

She was right. The rest is history. ~shared by @hensonjade
