Weddings after World War II bring homefront memories to Frederick
Frederick couples recall wedding customs of 1945 to 1948 as soldiers returned from service. Tales include quick licenses, parsonage ceremonies, and brief honeymoons followed by rapid deployments or moves. Betty Reaves and John, Lee and Margarete Kemp, and Harry and Louise Karn share how war years shaped marriages, family plans, and later careers.
