LeMars Semi-Weekly Sentinel January 26, 1937 PLEDGE MARRIAGE VOWS UNDER STARS Ceremony Is Performed In Car Amid Snowdrifts A wedding in an automobile, with snowdrifts for decorations, twinkling stars for altar appointments, and the tooting of a freight train for the wedding march, Friday night, took place on highway 75, just across the county line, in Plymouth county, says the Sioux City Journal. The bridal couple was Miss Doris Still, 18, and Raymond Scott, 24, both of Sioux City. They thought to obtain a quiet wedding without the benefit of too many friends by getting the license in LeMars, about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon. The couple then came to Sioux City and called on Rev. John Hantla, of the Wall Street Mission, to officiate. When Rev. Hantla discovered that the license had been obtained in Plymouth county, he informed the couple that the wedding would have to be performed there, too. So, taking witnesses, the bride's mother and Mrs. Hantla, they drove across the line and the clergyman performed the ceremony. Because of the crowded condition of the car, the bride sat on the bridegroom's lap during the ceremony.
