Their wedding was unique because they were married at the same time as another couple.
Both brides and both grooms were related to each other.
The other bride is Mary Mabel Allred who is the sister of Cora May.
The other groom was James Francis Johnson. James and Jodie shared the same grandfather (Benjamin Franklin Johnson) but they came through different wives.
This makes James and Jodie cousins.
Mabel and James were only 17 years old at the time of their marriage.
