“The Divine Termination of the Marital Arrangement” - I need an old timer
by Bonnie_Clyde ini talked about this on gophers post about you cannot live forever on paradise earth, but thought i would start a separate one as i need an old timer who can remember attending a witness wedding in the 1950s.
gopher asked

by Bonnie_Clyde inmy brother was engaged to a rather nice girl in our congregation back in the early sixties.
