Both had real reasons for doing what they did. And as it turned out, the two Schwartz ladies were happy in their marriages. My grandma Minnie had to work hard all her life in her husband's grocery store, which wasn't easy, but she definitely chose a good man. Marian B.

It must have been hard for them after all they would only have what was best for their children. A wonderful story well told, thanks for sharing.Sandra Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306175508043372583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-81441178911086127862018-02-09T19:36:29.922-05:002018-02-09T19:36:29.922-05:00And I love her throwing the engagement ring out th...And I love her throwing the engagement ring out the window.

Would I have stood up for what I wanted or gone along with my parents? It is kind of amazing that some marriage customs changed so quickly or disappeared. I remember my shock 15 years ago when my father gave me my grandmother's silver flatware, engraved with the initial of her maiden name, and told me it was part of her dowry!Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-70147756140237202342018-02-03T07:26:34.678-05:002018-02-03T07:26:34.678-05:00I enjoyed your two love stories.
