Delpha Pruhs was nineteen when she met Jean Charles at a church dance. Delpha and her friend Maurine were impressed with his good looks and nice manners. After the dance, he asked if he could take the two girls home. Delpha said his car "was really something. Pretty old, and he had rebuilt the roof with chicken wire to reinforce it. It was a rainy night, and the roof leaked in a few places, but we didn't care. We went for a drive before going home, and got stuck in the mud, and we all had to get out and push."
Soon they were dating. Jean was baptized on April 1, 1939.
They were married on December 7, 1939 in the Alhambra ward chapel. Delpha made her wedding dress and the dresses of all her bridesmaids. She and her dad decorated the church. Her mom made the wedding cake.
After the beautiful reception, they embarked on a short honeymoon to Mexico.

The second person to the right of Delpha is June Charles. Next to Jean is Jean's very good friend Joe Tomlinson, who introduced Jean to the church. Next to Joe is Delpha's brother Parley. I don't know the names of the other members of the wedding party. |
