"59 years ago yesterday July 2nd Erskine and I were
married in St Anne's Anglican Church, Fox Hill, Nassau, Bahamas. The priest,
Father King, told me he didn't believe in a bride being late for her wedding so
he wouldn't marry us if I was late! Imagine how frantic I was when the
limousine Erskine had booked for me and the Father Giver, Erskine's boss Mr
Ashton (who didn't have a car), didn't turn up for me! Fortunately a good
friend of Erskine's, Levi Wilson, stopped by to see if I needed any help. I
told him just get me to the church on time please! We sped down Village Road in
Levi's old car, along the Eastern Road, with me in full bridal attire, brown
paper packages in the back and Levi wearing an old straw hat! I also have a
photo of me picking up my skirts and running into the church! Fortunately I got
there in time!"
