My first memory of Bonnie was when she and Charles drove to ElDorado to have my grandfather, Elijah Wilson Hargett, marry them. I was either a tween or early teen. I decided on my on that they needed their car decorated. I collected cans, poked holes in them and tied them under the car. I also put a "Just Married" sign on the car.

They came out and got in the car and when Charles put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway they heard the scrape and rattle of the cans. Charles stopped the car and went back to check on the sound. He discovered my cans, but left them on. They left. I never asked how long they left the cans and sign on the car.
