Many marriages during the 50s, were actually like the TV sitcoms of that era. Father Knows Best, Ozzie & Harriet, the husbands, always the Bread Winners, the wives, Stay at Home Moms. Sadly, those wives, took for granted, the fact, 'all men cheated, even the Kennedy brothers, 'bless the Boys souls. And those 'happy to be barefoot & pregnant,'  committed 'little women,' are just too tired to be a 'Run Around Sue.' The wife of the fifties, had to be mother, cook and 'Sex Kitten', 24/7.

 

 

 

 

 The saddest church ceremony, is the Shot Gun Wedding. Because of circumstances, beyond this Groom's control, he's standing, at the alter, smashed out of his mind. So, wasted, his Best Man, is holding him up during the groom's slurred vows. His girlfriend, never told him, she was off the pill. He had no idea, his steady, had been pinning holes into the packaged condoms they used. His lady, tired of the wait, wanting to start a family. Weeks later, she was pregnant & planning a wedding.
