Lili’s wedding picture

This is my wedding picture.
I got married in 1952. My husband is from Sofia. I had a colleague at the university, our compatriot, who got married before me. Her husband had some friends. We started to go out together, most often for a walk in Vitosha Mountain. That is how I met him [her husband].

My husband worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He got discharged right after Stalin's death. Many compatriots there [at the Ministry] had the same destiny. My husband was really very embarrassed, but later he was employed at NarMag [short for Public store, state trade institution]. He had started work very early, because my father-in-law had been ill [he had raised cows] and they hadn't had enough money. He [Lili's husband] had a brother and two sisters - the three of them were twins. His brother was killed as a partisan together with his wife. His sisters are younger than him. They all started work very early and they finished night school.
