Cathy and Irving are moving to the stage of marriage.Being a retired government auditor, I did the percentage of how long I have been married to being single. I have been married 93% of my adult life, minus childhood, teens and college years. Seeing her every day for a few weeks, we knew. She said it was too early at three months. Her sister made me get the ring in six months. She wore a Mexican style white wedding dress at a Navy Chapel wedding. She had four Naval Officers in Dress Whites crossed swords so she and I could walk through into marriage. When do you know you love someone?
