June 14 Weddings

Oh, they say when you marry in June,
You're a bride all your life.
And the bridegroom who marries in June
Gets a sweetheart for a wife.
-- June Bride
From "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"
(Music: Gene DePaul / Lyrics: Johnny Mercer)



For descendants of John Culbert and Mary Ward, June 14th appears to be a popular day to marry.

The following couples were married on June 14:

Myron Manford Culbert (1884-1961) and Effie Pearl Taylor (1886-1957). Myron and Effie married in Exeter, Ontario, Canada on June 14, 1911. You can read about their honeymoon here.
