I watched the first episode of Mayberry RFD last night, "Andy and Helen Get Married". What a beautiful and simple wedding they had. A far cry from the many thousands that so many young people spend today. And look how nice Charlene's wedding was and she wore her ma's dress and they got married underneath a tree. My wife and I had a fairly simple wedding. Because I was teaching and I wanted my students to be able to attend, we got married in my classroom at noon hour. Then we all went down to the school cafeteria and had the reception. They were serving lunch anyway so I figured it would be a good way to save money for furniture. We had a lovely meal of corn dogs, baked beans, and French fries. And it only cost us a dollar a plate. We couldn't stay around school long as we had to catch our bus at 3:30. I was chaperoning a football game that night so my wife and I spent our first few hours of wedded bliss doing that. I made an extra $20 too. But I made it up to my wife the next day by taking her on a river cruise. It was the first time she had ever been in a canoe so she was a bit nervous. But it all worked out well and we are till married after 40 years. I think the cruise was the highlight of her life because even after 40 years she still talks about it once in a while, and whenever she does tears come to her eyes. So for you young folks out there who are contemplating a big expensive wedding, I would suggest something smaller and more intimate.
