26. Lincoln Told A Friend He Would Rather Not Marry Mary On Their Wedding Day
As Abraham Lincoln left his home to marry Mary, he told a friend, “I guess I am going to hell.” While Lincoln cared for Mary, she had just found out she was pregnant, and Lincoln was the father. Lincoln, at 33 years old, knew the couple needed to marry.
Mary, ten years younger than her husband, loved him but always felt their marriage didn’t have the love she hoped for. Naturally, Lincoln liked to joke around and often made fun of Mary. To this day, people are not sure what Lincoln indeed met when joking about Mary.
