Lila and Joe Wilhite, parents of Rodney Wilhite. Married August 20, 1960 and May 20, 1969

When I told my Mom about this project, she mailed me a few pics of my parents' two weddings along with the following note:

"This is the pictures that I found. The first wedding [August 20, 1960] was at Uncle Tommy Gibbs and Aunt Dulcia. It was a very small wedding. Jimmy [my mother's brother] was best man and Christine [my father's sister] was bridesmaid. We went to Siloam Springs [Arkansas] for the night. It was very romantic -- I had to go get the hamburgers to eat. We already had our house bought in Morrow, Ark.

The 2nd marriage was May 20, 1969. This picture was at my apt. (The one that one of Jacob's Girlfriends lived in) the wedding was at Uncle Tommy's (again) with only Aunt, Uncle, and us were there. He wouldn't marry anyone that had been married before but since our first marriage was the two of us he did. His religion was that second marriage was only legal if the spouse was dead..."

So there you have it. My apologies if "one of Jacob's Girlfriends" (the capitalization and plurality are hers, not mine) should read this post. Earlier this summer, she discovered that a friend of my friend Jacob happened to live in the same house she lived in some 47 years ago.
