“The marriage of Donald Herring and Miss Pauline Reed, two of Wetumka’s most popular young people, came as a surprise to many of their friend when they returned from Holdenville late Saturday afternoon and announced their marriage,”
To be honest, that sounds like an elopement to me - the marriage “came as a surprise” to their friends, they announced it only after they were wed, etc.
To be honest, the few posts of yours I've read sound like the opinions of a Leftist.
Voicing the devil's advocate position is actually advocating for the devil.
I got your number.
