Dottie and Roll

Dorothy and Rolland's engagement picture...

Dorothy was introduced to my grandfather, Rolland Leigh Miesel, when she was 18 (I think!), by Roll's sister, Marvis, who was Dorothy's best friend from high school. Roll was going to seminary school in Columbus, OH, at the time, and he came down every weekend to see Dorothy for four years while he was in school...isn't that romantic? :)
Dorothy and Rolland were married by my great-grandfather, Rev. Walter Miesel, on June 5, 1946, in a beautiful candlelight ceremony. My grandma often told me stories about her wedding day and how hard it was to actually have her wedding since it was right after WWII, making it hard to find material for wedding and bridesmaids' dresses. :)

My grandparents had a very special relationship...they loved each other deeply and were "soulmates" in every sense of the word. They did disagree and have their quarrels, but underneath it all was a steady, abiding love for each other. :)
