Title: Long, Long ago in a Galaxie very near here......................
Post by: Critr on December 26, 2017, 10:05:58 AM
.......a foolish young couple took advantage of their high-school Christmas vacation to embark on an adventure. On Christmas Day, they drove from Illinois to Kentucky, where they spent the night with his grandparents. They were too young to get married in Illinois, and the lawyer told him that Springfield, Tennessee was the closest place where they would be allowed to get married without a waiting period.

So the day after Christmas found them in Springfield with a cousin and friend in tow as witnesses. An out of town Baptist minister was located, and they drove to the local church, which was locked. So.......... with the minister in the middle in front, and the two witnesses in the rear seat, they got married in the car!

Such a flimsy union could never last!

Today is our 65th anniversary!!!

It was a two-tone blue '52 Chev  4-door. I had one option installed by the dealer before I took possession of the new car. TURN SIGNALS!!!!!
