Today would have been my parents 69th Wedding Anniversary. They were married on January 14, 1942 in my grandparents house and then the next day pop shipped out to Ephrata in the Army Air Corps. Eventually he went to England, Africa and Italy. I was going to make a copy of their marriage certificate which has been hanging on the wall of their bedroom for as long as I can remember. When I removed the cardboard back on the frame I found this booklet titled Holy Matrimony and this first image is pages 2 and three of that booklet.
