    out publicly in their respective churches for three Sundays and asked off the altar were they sorry for the scandal they gave before the priest would marry them.
    Weddings nearly always took place in the middle of the day and as many sidecars as the friends could procure would be got and a big drive five or six miles to some town where some hours would be spent before returning. Then any men that would not have cars would ride their horse and all the horsemen when within two or three miles from the wedding house would start a race and first would get a bottle of whiskey to treat who he liked.
