My grandparents were married!
Mae's recollections of "the day" were that she wore a pale pink dress that she had embroidered large flowers on the netting. Pa was almost late to the ceremony because he had sent his suit to the cleaners and the lady that ran the boarding house had to track down the owner of the shop as they had closed early that day. They were married in the Methodist Church in Hope and drove that evening to Dallas in Pa's old model A. They were on their way to Austin TX to grad-school for the Summer... little did they know; but, my Mama would be born exactly 9.5 months later!
Mae and Pa (pictured here) on a much later vacation to one of their favorite Western destinations! Yellowstone and the Tetons.
Happiness! to June couples everywhere!
