I think this could be Mom and Dad's wedding picture. They were married June 8, 1929. They would either be about to depart for the wedding ceremony or would be just returning.
Rev. Arthur Love married them in the parsonage of the Methodist church in Centerville, Indiana. I can just visualize them driving from the Cox farm off Penville Road, to Centerville on US 40, in Dad's Davis Roadster. He was very proud of that car. Mom said they went by themselves, and the marriage certificate shows the pastor's wife as witness.
They spent their wedding night at the Cox home. Dad said Mom's brothers had sewn fine copper wire into the newlyweds' bedsheets. They had connected the wire to a generator from a hand-cranked telephone. Dad could hear them in the next room giggling and cranking that generator. He had already discovered their plot and disconnected the wire.
