Next is a photo supposedly taken on the Wilson's wedding day.  Minnie Pearl and Charles are sitting in the buggy.  Not sure who the others are in the photo, but probably Minnie's family.  Both Minnie and the woman on the horse are wearing a lacey veil or head-covering of some sort.

At the time of the wedding in 1902, the "Home of Bride" would have been the log home (shown below) on the Hatfield homestead in Woods County, Oklahoma.
