BRIDES IN KNICKERS?
Pastor Won't Perform Ceremony For Girl Unless
She Puts a Dress On.
DURANT, Okie.—If a bride
wants to get married in kntekera
instead of the traditional bridal
costume, that’s nobody’s business
but here.
So thinks Mr,, Teresa Hudson
of Durant, anyway.
Mrs. Hudson not long ago was
Miss Tereca Jones. She and Jack
Hudson, about to be married, were
planning in a honeymoon camping
trip vo Texas, and when they went
to the minister the bride was ar
rayed in trim knickers.
But the minister, the Rev. A.
A. McReynlods, a Baptist, was
horrified.
**A woman must dress like a
woman if she wants me to per
form a marriage ceremony for
her.** he announced. “Breeches are
all Tight for men and inhabitant*
of tourist park*, hut when t
comes to the solemn and impor
tant ceremony of marriage a wo
man should appear in the habili
ments of her own *ex.’’
TV couple’s plea* were vain.
“If you will go and put on *
dress, I will perform the cere
mony," he told Miss Jones.
But Miss Jones wouldn’t. In
stead she and Hudson sought out
H. M. Young, Durant’s 69-year-
old justice of the peace, who per-
firmed the ceremony without de
mur, remarking that be would
havo married them if they had
been dressed in bathing suits.
Mr. and Mrs. Hudson got back
from their honeymoon th« °ther
day. The bride is still a little bit
vexed over the minister’s attitude.
“Hasn’t a girl a right to choose
her own wedding garb?” she ask
ed. “Hasn’t she tha right to wear
knickers if she wants toT I donfc
