SUMMARY:WMGS Monthly Meeting: Marriages Here\, There\, and Nowhere: Finding Gretna Greens
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled that we’ll be joined by J. Mark Lowe for a presentation titled “Marriages  Here\, There\, and Nowhere: Finding Gretna Greens” on March 2nd.\nThroughout history\, many couples chose to marry in a location away from their home. Often there were reasons why it was a more convenient location to tie the knot. Sometimes\, this decision was based on a romantic location or a place that would allow them to marry quickly without a three-day waiting period. These locations are often referred to as Gretna Greens\, named for the historic town in Scotland where thousands of English couples ran because of Scotland’s sympathetic marriage laws. We will consider the reasons for a different marriage  location\, alternate sources to determine the location\, and a few of the towns known as “Gretna Greens” in the United States.
