The marriage of Livia Teleki's parents, Ignjat and Kornelija Kornveis

My parents met in 1921. My father came to Belgrade as Hungarian soldier, and he was shot in the arm during some kind of fight. He went to the hospital, and when he was released from the hospital he went on a walk with a friend of his, Hungarian, through a park near the place where my mother used to live. My mother was sitting there in the park, sewing with her friends, they were talking in Hungarian. My father came to her, introduced himself, they started talking, and soon became very good friends. My father was already married at that time, but he fell in love with my mother, he proposed her, and went back to Veliki Varadin to divorce her wife with whom he had two sons. My mother went to live in Veliki Varadin (Oradea in Romania today) with my father, and then they moved to Belgrade. My father began working. I was five years old then, it was 1927. As far as I can remember it did not go well and then he took ill with heart problems. He died shortly after that. I was young when he died, it was 1929. I remember that my mother wore black to the funeral which was at the same time that King Aleksandar was buried.
