"When we are told," remarks Mr. Beardsley, "that many of these parties went miles through the forests, traveling the narrow paths on horseback, bride and groom both on the same horse, all alone perhaps in search of the man of law, who was authorized to say the words that would make them one, we can easily imagine that there were no extended wedding tours, no idle honeymoons, no rounds of gaiety, except perhaps, the country dance. And yet they lived and loved and prospered.
R. L. Heminger "Bridges, Early Vows And Johnny Appleseed"
