Hi Kathleen;
Nice picture, although I read some place that he was nervous as hell. He really didn't wanted to get married, but apparently not just Lili forced him into it with her threat to jump out the window also Warner Brothers put pressure on to him because they lived together.
He should have moved out, but....such is life! He maybe thought he could handle her, but he was much to naive in those days to realize what vengeful woman she was.
Take care!

Yes, she really became a vindictive character.
