In this episode of The Storyworth Podcast, Carol Paige tells the story of how she found love later in life, after both she and her new husband Larry had long, loving marriages. Below, Carol describes telling her family about her engagement.
He wanted to make sure he got a ring right away. And we went to the store and at that time we hadn't told anybody in our family about it. And we picked out the ring, and I had kept my rings on my left side. So she just assumed that I was married and it was a special occasion. And she said, Is this a special occasion? And we said, yeah, we've been married almost 60 years, but not to each other, and she didn't say a word. She just laughed a little bit. And then we had the fun of telling our family.
