In Alma's no-frills wedding bouquet, pink carnations mingle with baby's breath.

"C" is congregation

The Jolly Minister addressed the congregation and said:  "...under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife... you may kiss the bride... (wink, smile) ...and if you don't, I will...."

"D" is December's

What fate befalls December's bride? 

CHOOSING AN AUSPICIOUS WEDDING DATE
Married when the year is new,
He'll be loving, kind and true.
When February birds do mate
You wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can
Joy for maiden and the man.
Marry in the month of May
And you'll surely rue the day.
Marry when the June roses grow
Over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed
Must labour for their daily bread.
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change is sure to see.
Marry in September's shine,
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry
Love will come, but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November
Only joys will come, remember
When December's snows fall fast,
Marry and true love will last.

The jolly minister entertains the congregated audience with his offer to kiss the bride, if required.

I think they got a May marriage, delivered in December.

According to the story, Ennis and Alma got married in December of 1963, and their firstborn child, Alma Jr., arrived in September of 1964.

"G" is golden
« Reply #12065 on: March 23, 2007, 12:38:20 pm »
There would be no golden wedding anniversary for Alma and Ennis.   They likely fell just short of their silk anniversary (12th) when they divorced in early November of 1975.

Ennis and Alma got hitched that December, but there was a hitch in the plans.

Ennis ignorantly lets the "Alma and me, we'll be getting married when I come down off this mountain" plans rule the day.

After the wedding Alma and Ennis went on their honeymoon - a joyride on a toboggan.

The thrifty couple honeymooned on a toboggan, for they were leery of spending money.
