I was married in St Patrick’s church (1958, 4th June)

I wore a dress so beautiful, made of capure lace-that was very expensive.

I could never forget it.

There were about 10 covered buttons on the sleeve, holding it all shut, the nuns commented on how much skin it covered ‘so well covered’.

Buttons all down the back, I’ll never forget those buttons.
