Edward and Marie meet and marry

While working at the telephone office, she met the man she would eventually marry. His name was EDWARD MARION CHRISTENSEN.

There was something about that boy", she said,"that was irresistible". She confided that their courtship was all ways interrupted in some way or another. "It never ran smooth", she said. "It neverless kept on running".

On Feb. 1917 they were engaged to be married on June 20th 1917. She worked at the telephone office until noon on the day they were married, then left for Salt Lake to be married, in the Salt Lake Temple. She was accompanied by her grandmother Kienke in the temple.

She admits that while they were courting, she had an advantage being a telephone operator. One night while on duty, she listened in while Edward talked to a girl friend on the phone. When the friend asked him where he was the night before, he answered he was out walking with Marie Miller and they spent some time together while talking on a bridge. "Well" the girl said, "why didn't you push her in". That seemed to amuse Marie. Not long after this they were engaged while riding in a buggy.
