Rich + Josephine

Rich & Josephine were married on June 6, 1951. They stayed at Grandmas' parent's house the night before, and her dad said, "well, I don't have any advice for you, because if I haven't taught you what you ought to know by now, it's too late!" The next day they were married in the Logan Temple, and Joseph Benjamin Daines, Grandma's dad, was the sealer. He was a councelor in the temple, and a sealer to many of Grandma's siblings and several neices and nephews as well. The ceremony was short, likely because he was true to his thinking, when he had said there wasn't much use to give advice now, because it already should have been learned. Those in attendance did a temple session after the ceremony, as was customary at that time. Grandma had been through the temple for the first time about 1 month before the wedding.
Later in the evening, there was a reception in Grandmas' parent's home. The colors were blue & white. Beth, Grandma's sister, had a bouquet made out of white lilacs(which were in bloom in the area). Beth also made a cake and topped it with a blue dutch windmill; things were done economically, and made use of what was available. Grandma's brother-in-law, Joe Quayle, arranged to take her car and hide it, so that nobody would be able to "decorate" it. He took it to where he worked, Bordens Milk Company, during the reception, and then brought it back to the area. After the reception, the couple walked through the back yards and found their car on 4th north to be able to take off on a honeymoon to the northwest.
