The Waltons - Wedding Bells on The Waltons - behind the scenes with Judy Norton

[@shyman99]

Back then marriage meant something much different from what it does today. The ceremonies were so much more special and precious to watch.

[@daryloberacker9041]

Agree, the show is how I wish the world would go back to. Not perfect, but way better than today!

[@stephaniebirt9451]

I thought Rose was a cousin?

[@DaveD2488]

Married today divorced tomorrow is about the size of it today.

[@Huskrrrr]

There were many perfect lines in the Waltons. One of my favorites was between Mary Ellen and Curt. "That's not much of a proposal." "Well, it's the best one you're going to get from me."

[@colintaliaferro3228]

Well, to play devils advocate. Back in those days, many husbands had a mistress or mistresses and multiple affairs, many an open secret. Wives had far less control or power over their life and circumstance financially and as primary caregivers to children, which made leaving a marriage much harder. Many had to turn the other cheek and just deal with it, others believed it was a man's prerogative, and a normal occurs they accepted and still loved their husband's all the same. It was a very different time and world. For better or worse. It is much easier to see those times thru rose colored glasses, which as a species we tend to do.

[@daryloberacker9041]

Judy, you bring joy to my wife and i. In our early 50s but we both enjoy coming home from work to watch a few episodes every weekday. Best series EVER MADE.

[@alicemcleod6149]

Agree 200 hundred percent, one of the best shows ever created for television!

[@judynorton2598]

So happy to hear that. Thank you.

[@sherryhendee542]

I totally agree!! The Waltons is my all time favorite series. I watched it as a kid and now I still watch it in reruns.

@@judynorton2598 you’re as charming and lovely as ever

[@deniseaukerman]

I thought you were the most beautiful bride in the weddings. Your dress was amazing, and the veil was so delicate.

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you :)

[@marjeketchum1630]

I'm glad they let everyone's personality shine through. It seemed like that was the case but when people are acting, you don't want to presume what's entirely acting and what's expanding on one's own nature. Thanks for confirming what I felt.

[@judynorton2598]

Good points. Ultimately it was a mix.

[@deborahwerner]

Really enjoyed this, Judy. Thank you! There were so many weddings. I didn't realize. I'm streaming the series again with my 91-year old father and we saw Yancy's wedding episode the other day. The look on his face when he was at the altar. 😂 As much as I love the relationship between Olivia & John as well as Grandma & Grandpa I still love MaryEllen & Curt's lively relationship the best. I thought it was a good match for the reasons you mentioned in this video, and it was also nice watching Mary Ellen growing up into a more mature woman.

[@judynorton2598]

Thanks for sharing your perspective :)

[@jrcriner6542]

I always loved the episodes with Lynn Hamilton and Hal Williams they were great in The Best Christmas.

[@judynorton2598]

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you! You too!

[@ladyk63200]

Good morning, Judy! Happy Valentines Day! I loved every single wedding on the Waltons. I think one of my favorites would be John Boy and Janet. Her aunt wanting to plan the wedding, making John Boy crazy was at times funny and the in-laws being put in jail. But it always in the end makes you cry when they float off to their honeymoon in the little boat they played with as children. Thank you for all the wonderful wedding stories! 🥰

[@judynorton2598]

It was a sweet wedding and journey :).

[@Angela-ho4qx]

My Dad’s Italian parents were married 75 years!! And my mama’s Irish parents were married for 66 years ❤️❤️

[@judynorton2598]

Oh wow! That’s so amazing. Good for them.

[@alicemcleod6149]

Amazing, nice to hear about positive relationships!

[@billgrandone3552]

My Italian grandparents were together for 59 until his death in 1963. They were married in 1904 just outside of St. Louis Mo. and went to the St. Louis Worlds Fair of that year, made famous in the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis". Nana was back in St. Louis exactly 70 years later for another wedding-mine. I and my wife Nancy will celebrate our 50th Anniversary in July and we have already passed both our parents in the longevity of our union and hope to pass my grandparents as well.

[@ironsidefan]

Thanks for this, hon! I especially loved the scene at the end with Grandma and Grandpa dancing so full of joy, and everyone watching them.

It was sweet to see a romance between an older couple.

Judy, I was waiting to hear her name and surprised you didn't mention her.. Jenny! I remember watching the episode when I was 12 years old, likely the first love story I saw on TV.

Very true - but this was about who characters ultimately married so - sadly Jenny didn’t get to marry John Boy.

Wow. Well there were so many weddings on the show it is hard to pick out a favorite. I feel that of all the new characters added to the show, Leslie Winston was a favorite of mine. She is so cute and her smile is beautiful. Glad we finally saw John-Boy married.. With the number of times he was dumped, I didn't know if I was watching the Waltons or re-runs of Dobie Gillis. Though I think one of the best shows that spoke beautifully of lasting love was the one when John Boy took his Scottish lady friend to the sea to remember her late husband . While she and John were dancing she imagined that John was him (thanks to Earl Hamner and make up ). That's when you know that the phrase "til death do us part" is meaningless. If it's real, death can't touch it. P.S. I do remember Jim Bob dumping Jennifer Jason Leigh. I still wonder about that boy ! LOL
