'Just Married' Signs Are Late
Moorhead When it happened 14 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Cowan received it as something to be expected on their wedding day, but when they left Erskine church one night last week and their car appeared before their eyes gayly decorated with streamers, "just married" signs and tin cans that was somewhat of a surprise. Ross Donehower and his bride of a few minutes, whose wedding the Cowans had attended in the church, like the idea. The decorations had been intended for their car-one of similar make which stood elsewhere, unscathed by merrymakers. So Mr. and Mrs. Cowan, bride and groom of 14 years, returned to Moorhead in a car labeled with "just married" signs, while Mr. and Mrs. Donehower left on their wedding trip with only the blissful look of honeymooners to betray the fact that it was they who had been just married.
