“I’ll bet no one has ever called Duluth Minnesota paradise,” said Marge, “but that’s what it feels like tonight.”
Glenn looked at his new bride and smiled. “It sure is paradise.”
They walked hand in hand along the water, watching the moon and clouds and each other.
“I hate it that you have to go back home already tomorrow,” said Glenn.
“Well, my parents don’t know I am here and I have to get back to work so we can save for our future together. It will only be for a little while.”
They kissed and walked toward the hotel.

My parents were married June 16, 1943, so when I saw the date on Rochelle’s https://rochellewisoff.com/tag/friday-fictioneers/ blog for this week’s post, I knew my topic in an instant. Working backwards, this week I had to make the photo prompt fit my idea!

I’m a Minnesota girl, so this story really pulled me in, Also my parents were married in September of 1942, and my dad went off to war in a submarine while Mom finished high school. I’ll bet lots of us older folks can identify with your story 🙂
