Then on to the church where she was married by her priest and an American chaplain. The reception was given by her father at a hotel near the middle of town. In the evening all their invited friends, French and American soldiers had another reception party given by her husbands commander.

Ginette's wedding dress was made from 5 yards of parachute silk that he husband had got through the PX stores, the dress was made by her best friend, her veil was leased and a neighbor let her borrow a pearl necklace. Her shoes and her bouquet were the only new things bought that she had, and they were bought for her by her parents.

Ginette said that she had 8 cakes baked by German prisoners of war and a band of all American Soldiers played for them. This was followed by a honeymoon of five days in the city of Tours.

Out of her wedding dress, Ginette made her son a long baptism dress which he wore at the age of 2 months. She also made herself a dressed blouse out of the top of the dress.
