The bride and groom were pursued down Main street after the wedding and automobile horns were blown attracting everyone’s attention to the party. They caused quite a sensation on lower Main street when the bride’s and groom’s car was driven into a ditch and they were nearly tipped over when the occupants of a car showered them with rice and confetti. The rest of the party soon arrived and about a dozen cars were driven to the scene to ascertain who was hurt. After showering the bride and groom with rice the pursuers took the bride in a car covered with writing announcing “We are just married” and the bridegroom was left to follow in another car.
