June is a traditional time for weddings, and this episode celebrates stories of love and marriage, past and present in the Southern Appalachian region. From a romantic tale of teenage love on Beaucatcher Mountain in Asheville, to enduring relationships lasting 59 years like Elaine Cantrell's parents, these stories capture love in its many stages, including those awkward, clumsy moments. A mis-delivered piece of mail leads to an unlikely marriage. A serenade is bungled when the words in the song conveys the wrong message. Historical weddings from the Victorian Age, pulled from the archives of the Heritage Alliance, provide an interesting insight into customs past. Enjoy these tales (and more!) of love and marriage in this episode.
