Sunday would have been the 46th anniversary of Carm and Dudley Davidson, who were married in 1980. Carm posted some details on Facebook.
They had their bachelor and bachelorette party at the Old 169 Club complete with a hog roast the night before the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, after the minister said, “You may kiss the bride,” a huge bolt of lightning followed by a loud clap of thunder shook the walls of the church. They wondered if it was bad luck, but they would be married for 34 years until his passing. In fact, several farmers told them that the next time they had a drought, they needed to get married again; 1980 was the worst drought in the area since 1936.
The late Essie Moyer remade the wedding dress and made the wedding cake.
As a prank, someone snuck limburger cheese on the manifold and a can of stink bait under the driver’s seat. The can was found and removed, but the limburger cheese still smelled the next summer when they ran the air conditioner.
