The invitation.



In ancient times, there was no gift registry on the Internet.  The custom in Temple, Texas, was for the bride's parents
to provide a gift display so the friends and relatives could see what the bride had received and pick something needed.

Shown below is an article about the wedding as it appeared in the Weatherford News, published in Gary's home town of Weatherford, Oklahoma.  The story mentions people whom local readers might know, but says very little about guests from Texas.
