Wedding at 1st Lawrence St Patrick’s Day Parade
Eileen roddy has a story today in the Lawrence Journal-World of a wedding that took place on the St Patrick’s Day parade in Lawrence back in 1988 - it’s first Paddy’s Day parade.
When a friend heard Terri Wilson had been proposed to she asked where and when Terri would get married
“I laughed and jokingly said we’d do it on a float during the parade,” she recalls.
The friend told other friends who contacted the parade organizers and, before Wilson knew it, plans were afoot for a St. Patrick’s Day wedding. Alan was surprised but agreed it would be fun and different.
Friends borrowed a flat-bed trailer.
“We decorated it with cedar spray and loads of green crepe paper the night before the parade,” Wilson says.
She planned to wear a deep turquoise mid-calf dress with a white rose decorated with oxalis.
“We woke up to heavy, wet snow, and I had to wear a heavy white wool coat,” she recalls.
