The Lucky Couple

52 ancestors
Week 9 (February 25-March 3): At the Courthouse

My parents got their marriage license on Friday the 13th of November, 1936, at the Courthouse in San Antonio, TX. The county is Bexar.

They got their picture in the paper as well.  

I think they had no clue about anything of the date maybe being unlucky.  They certainly were in love, and were planning a simple wedding ceremony.  The bride's family attended and the groom's did not, because they were adamantly opposed to alcoholic consumption. (My mother's family had all the signs of being alcoholics.)

They were married in a church, not city hall, however!

It's so wonderful for me to see my parents as they looked when they were young and still had stars in their eyes as they looked to the future.  

I know I've posted these events before on my blog, so please forgive me for doing so again...just for the 52 Ancestors effort!
