We rushed over to the church, introduced ourselves to Rev. James B. Hughes and his wife. Rev. Hughes talked to us, asked us many questions, which we answered and he said he would marry us. We told him we had to go to Spokane to my jewelers and get the wedding ring and we would be back by such and such a time. He agreed to the approximate time to do the wedding. Cost? Whatever we feel we can afford was his answer. He said his wife and secretary would sign as witnesses, since we had no one there.
We then went back to the bus depot and took a bus to Spokane; went to the jewelry store and picked up the wedding ring; then we inquired about a room for the night. We were told this one place was good, clean and reasonable so we went there. While there I got a room, which had a community bathroom, which was acceptable to us. I signed us as Mr. and Mrs. while Marion discretely kept her left hand out of sight. We then left to go back to the church to be married. The bus got us to Couer d' Alene in just a short while and we walked to the church. Rev. Hughes had us married in nothing flat. The witnesses signed the certificate and I paid Rev. Hughes $5 I believe. They were all happy for us, which we appreciated. Then the Reverend gave us some material to read on the way back to Spokane. We read the material and some of it was nudgingly intimate! We laughed quietly on the trip back to Spokane. (Continued)
