Shadowlight's Lighthouse

[Error: unknown template qotd] My mother's uncle ran a dance hall in the small town she was from. My Dad went to a dance there, asked a friend to dance, but she said no, so he asked my mother to dance, and that's how they met. (except that, years later, he told me that what he actually did was ask Every Single Woman In the Place to dance, and *all* of them said no until my mother. There's probably a moral in that somewhere.) They dated for years while she finished college out of state, and then he proposed around November, and when my mother told *her* mother, Grammie E said that as soon as Christmas was out of the way, they'd put together this wedding as fast as possible, because this courtship had taken enough time already. They were married in late January, and that was around 1970. :)
