At nine o'clock I met John at Germantown Ave and off we went to City Hall for our own marriage license. I did some more shopping in town for undies and bridge slippers.
This is Virginia's last diary entry. The day of her wedding.

My wedding day. It is cloudy but warm and my new suit will be just right.

Just one more night. This has been my last day of maidenhood or virginity. And this is my last night of freedom.
John says I shall always be free. This afternoon, after office hours, I bought my wedding dress. It is a suit of tan and brown. I bought a brown straw hat and shall wear wear brown kid gloves and shoes. Mother has been wonderful. Everyone has for that matter. Alice addressed one hundred announcements today and this evening. John and I wrote the inner envelopes. I've washed my hair and completed my sewing. |
ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
