In November of 1940 Desi was playing the Roxy in New York City and Lucy had finished “A Girl, A Guy and a Gob” for RKO. The studio sent her to NYC for the film’s premiere, which was great as she and Desi would be able to see and spend some time with each other. After giving an interview to a magazine about being single, Lucy was told by Desi that what she had said would change because they were going to get married the next day.
On November 30, 1940 Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were married at the Byram River Beagle Club in Connecticut. Wearing a black dress and silver fox coat and hat, Lucy accepted a ring Desi bought at Woolworths. Upon returning to Manhattan for Desi’s show that night, Lucy was presented with a bouquet of flowers from the manager of the Byram River Beagle Club along with this card. The reverse had a message from a Mr. Edward White, which sadly is now partially missing. What is visible Ed writes about seeing her in “Marines Fly High”, another movie Lucy made with RKO.
