And what a life it is!

3. Info:

…According to Wikipedia:

Carter married Rosalynn Smith on July 7, 1946, in the Plains Methodist Church, the church of Rosalynn's family.

He first met her when she was one day old.

6. So young!

7. Look at the grin on the young ensign!

qHe's so thrilled to be marrying the lovely young lady of his dreams. Looks like they had flowers, candles, and I bet a nice reception with punch and cake. I bet the whole thing probably cost about $100 (in 1946 money) compared to extravagant productions these days.

25. Weddings were simpler back then

My parents married in 1950. Mom in a wedding dress; Dad a nice suit and tie. Their wedding photo album only has 6-8 pictures in it! Dad had the same smile of satisfaction in getting the girl of his dreams.

28. Yes, much simpler celebrations. nt

15. America's most beautiful couple inside and out.

16. Wonderful Life

That is a great man and great woman aside him.

Carter was cheated out of an even bigger legacy when his likely reelection was criminally stolen. Then that fake couple (https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/nov/12/the-reagans-showtime-docuseries) came to power and ruined America.

like a young Judy Garland in this photo, and he is clearly over the moon!

24. That picture always made me think of the Andy Hardy movies

with Andy Rooney & Judy Garland. Jimmy & Roselyn Carter look so happy and excited in their wedding photograph.

27. Exactly

what I was thinking! Though Jimmy is quite a bit taller than Mickey!
