“He knew what time school would let out, and he would be there,” said Williams.
“He would go, ‘Hey, you wanna go get some ice cream?’ He always knew I wanted to get ice cream,” she recalled.
“I thought he was being nice to me,” said Williams.
“I was idolizing Jerry and looking up to him. … What I didn’t know was that he was falling in love with me. … Jerry would kiss me. At first, I didn’t know what to think about that. I mean, it was nice, but I was confused,” she said.
“Jerry came back home one day and said, ‘Come outside, I want to show you something,’” Williams said.
“He goes and pulls this paper out. I looked at it, and it said, ‘Marriage License.’ … I said, ‘You mean we’re married?’ And he said, ‘No, no, no. We’re not married. We’re gonna get married.’”
Williams said, “I think I was in a coma.”
“I had the red dress that I wore to school that day, and we walked into this little chapel. I don’t remember getting married, but I know it happened. And then, these two little old ladies started throwing rice at us. … And I’m still like a deer caught in headlights. … We were probably gone for less than an hour,” she continued.
“The next morning, I got up and pulled my marriage license out, and I left it on the nightstand. My mother’s maid found it. She handed my daddy the marriage license. Of course, he took one look at it and my daddy went and got his gun. He said, ‘I’m going to kill that son of a b—-,’” she continued.
