Boy Meets Girl - 1973
Just like a movie, this all begins with this picture of Bill and Bettye's beautiful wedding. As the movie unfolds, we flashback to reveal the plot and build the background. (Cut to Scene one) Scene one - Bettye (the Bride) and Demetra (Bridesmaid, 2nd from the left) are roommates at TCU. Scene two - Bill (the Groom) and Bob (Best Man) are in the same class and friends in Army Infantry OCS. Scene three - Bill, Bob and Ron (Groomsman, 2nd from the right) are stationed together at Ft Hood, TX and living the good life in the BOQ.(Stick with me we are getting closer) Scene four - Demetra introduces Bettye to Bill. Scene five - Bob and Demetra get married. Scene six - (Now we are almost back to the wedding.) Bill asks Ron to be his sister Patty's (Bridesmaid, 3rd from the left) escort at the wedding. (Bring up the music) Scene seven - (Now we are back to the present and here comes the big finale.) Bill and Bettye get married. The wedding is gorgeous and joyful. Patty catches a highly contested bouquet, Ron is hit between the eyes with the garter and the rest ... well it's in this album.
