Wedding Rehearsal

Forty years ago today Ruth and I were making final plans for our wedding rehearsal. Nixon was President. KFC was the largest restaurant chain (McDonalds took the lead soon thereafter).

Ruth picked up our wedding flowers between Marquand and Cape Girardeau. The lady had used live greenery to supplement the artificial flowers we had ordered. At the wedding, the artificial flowers looked great, the greenery had wilted.

That night Mom brought a salad for the wedding rehearsal. Aunt Katrina brought a dish; Mrs Huey brought green beans. I remember it was a good potluck supper.
