"Shot Gun" Wedding
I know December 31st is New Year's Eve - but I was never much of a party girl. I'd rather have a pizza, watch a movie at home, and be in bed by 11:00. But December 31st is also the anniversary date of my parent's marriage. They were married in 1937 by a Judge in Hickman, Kentucky. Money was scarce at that time so eloping was fairly common. Grandma McCoy told mom that she knew the night they were going to run off and get married because she saw that daddy had tucked a tie in his back pocket as he left the house. They never made much of a fuss on their anniversaries but the last 3 pictures are when others made a fuss for them. The first picture is just the oldest picture I have of them except for their high school pictures. The second is the 40th anniversary party we threw for them. The third is the 50th anniversary - and the last picture is the 50th "shot gun" wedding that the McCoy clan staged for them at our family reunion that year. I do hope that everyone has a safe and Happy New Year and that 2007 is a very blessed year for us all.
