Marriage Notes for BILLY WILSON and MARILYN CARGLE:
Marilyn and Billy were married by Reverend M.B. Atkins in the Parsonage next door to Robeline Road Baptist Church in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Rev. Atkins had previously been Pastor of the First Baptist Church at Montgomery, La. which Billy joined in 1942.

Lewis Thompson was best man and Bobbie Jean Barnes was bridesmaid. She was Marilyn's best friend. Lewis was Billy's best friend.

The two day honeymoon was in a cabin at Nakatosh Courts on Grande Ecore Road in Natchitoches, La. At the end of the honeymoon, Billy left to return to his duty station at the U.S. Navy Destroyer Base, San Diego, California. Marilyn had to stay in Louisiana until her first allotment check arrived. Then she joined Billy, on October 16, 1951, in San Diego. They made their first home in an upstairs two-room apartment in the home of Mr. Canutt at 555 D Street, Chula Vista, California.

On October 31, 1951 their family began to increase and hasn't stopped yet.

Marriage Notes for BILLY WILSON and SUSAN HENSHAW:
The relationship between Billy and Susan began as a "living together trial marriage." This seemed to be going well and they were married at the Court House of Jefferson Parish in Gretna, Louisiana. Billy could tell when they left the Court House that a change had come over Susan. She no longer seemed to have a desire to please. She began to stop the pretense that she had put forth during their trial marriage. Consequently, the relationship faltered and grew more estranged as time passed. Five years later, the marriage collapsed.

Marriage Notes for BILLY WILSON and VERNA SHAW:
Verna and Billy were married at the home of Billy's brother, Richard, in Boyce, Louisiana on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1981. Both have been thankful every year since. They get to celebrate two wedding anniversaries, most years. Once on November 26 and once on Thanksgiving Day.

Richard's daughter, Martha, played the wedding march on their piano. She and her mother, Freda, prepared and served the reception treats there in their home. Billy's daughter, Debbie, had a friend who was good at photography. He recorded the event on film. Photographs of this event are in the wedding scrapbook which is a part of this file.

Billy's mother had never attended any of her son's weddings. But this time, she was 85 years old and served as bridesmaid. Richard served as best man. The wedding was performed by a Justice of the Peace.

Ten years later, Verna and Billy were remarried in the First Baptist Church at Montgomery, Louisiana by Reverend Rick Henson, their pastor and good friend. This gave that little something extra to the marriage that only God can provide, a Sacred Vow.
