Laura's charming courtship with Almanzo Wilder culminated in a wedding ceremony in which Laura refused to say the word "obey" because she didn't want to make a promise she couldn't keep. At this time in her life, she also demonstrated a very early talent for writing that would get noticed by her teacher.
