Nancy's Wedding Day June 19, 1959
The sky was dark and dreary
Rain was hovering overhead
When we went to the temple
To see Richard and Nancy wed
But the sun came out in splendor
Before the rites were through
Happy the bride the sun shines on
And happy the bridegroom too
Nancy looked very dainty
In her wedding dress
All lace and tulle and satin
A crown of pearls her hair did dress
Richard seemed kind of nervous
Responsibility I guess
A wife to keep a house to run
And plenty more or less
As they knelt before the altar
And said their solemn "I do"
To love and cherish each other
And be honest and good and true
I saw the lovelight in their eyes
For marriage is a sacred thing
Married for time and all eternity
Without end like a wedding ring
The marriage ritual was performed
By Apostle Harold B Lee
Who pronounced them man and wife
For time and all eternity
He gave to them a serious talk
And gave a blessing too
He said be honest with each other
In everything you do
If a problem huge besets you
And you know not what to do
Go before the Lord in prayer
And he will help you through
After the marriage ceremony
To the family now so gay
The bridegroom's parents gave a luncheon
At Harmens nice café
The bridesmaids and their escorts
Were the next in line
Tripping sweetly to the music
And keeping step just fine
When the dreamy waltz was over
The bride cut the wedding cake
Twas very good I had a taste
Nancy to be careful for goodness sake
Someone shouted as he took the knife
From her dainty hand. A timely hint
For them to slip away
Their friends try to part them
But Richard stood his ground
And tousled until he got away
And his bride he found
Some gave chase but did not catch them
As they wound in mid traffic
To lose their followers was their object
And they had to be alert and quick
No one seemed to be following
All at once they felt at ease
All is well that ends well
They spent their honeymoon in peace
