First Wedding
Three weeks after Monroe turned 16, she and Jim married. Her fairly simple gown for the occasion was a present from one of the foster parents she had. With lengthy sleeves and made of white lace, it was very different from the bold fashion statements which Monroe would make at her second and third weddings.

In Tears
According to reports, Monroe was in tears at this first ceremony. Were they tears of joy, or did she cry because she had realized she didn’t want to get married after all? After Monroe was not his wife anymore, Dougherty insisted their marriage had been harmonious. However, some of Monroe’s notes and letters, which were published back in 2010, seemingly reveal the true thoughts she had on the relationship.
