Parsons and Helen's Wedding in 1935

Parsons proposed to Helen a year later with a three carat diamond ring and a 25 caliber pistol. He was so absent minded at their wedding in 1935 that he forgot to kiss her at the end of the ceremony. Parsons entire life was explosives and propulsion at this point, he spent all the money he made on rockets and rocket accessories. The couple would literally eat on barrels of dynamite.
