Big year for Celebrity Weddings, but I cried during my 16 year old friend’s Nuptials

 

September 18, 1964. Friday. Some boy told me Howard is engaged. “What a Joke!” I only care about Byron now.

Didn’t go to school today because of Shelia’s Wedding. Pearl came too. It was so sad I cried. Steve and Shelia looked like two little kids. After we all went to Shelia’s house for a reception. I really ate a lot! We gave her silver leaf glasses. 4 High School girls there, were married and had babies. We left, but didn’t go back to school. Instead we went back to Nana’s apartment and packed up her stuff and moved it into another apartment. I was so sad to leave. It had been the happiest week of my life, with out any bugs around. I came home and got ready to go to the dance in Westchester. Byron’s band the Marauders were playing. I died when I saw him, he’s so cute! But, it’s no use, his girlfriend was thee …She’s so plain!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! I talked to him and Sandy said she thinks he likes me. Neil’s was there, what a doll!!! Ernie was there too…he said he still loves me, but I love Byron!!
