- While a wealthy couple were out automobiling one day, they saw a moving picture factory and curiosity led them to enter. They were much impressed with what they witnessed, and it struck them that it would be an excellent idea to have a film made of the approaching wedding of their only daughter. Desirous of surprising the young people, the old folks took no one into their confidence, and bride and bridegroom, minister and wedding guests, had no idea that they were posing before the camera. The bridal couple went away on their honeymoon and had a foolish silly quarrel, such as often befalls young married people. The bridegroom was haughty, the bride was indignant, and declared her intention of immediately proceeding to Reno. The bridegroom said he didn't care, and at the time he really thought he meant it. Their matrimonial bark was just on the verge of being hopeless shipwrecked, when a telegram arrived from the old folks at home. It invited the bridal couple to dine with the girl's parents and announced that the latter had a surprise for them. The unhappy couple talked it over, and decided, for the parents' sake, to pretend to be friends for a while at least, until the arrangements for their divorce were nearer completion. The wife knew her parents had an old-fashioned prejudice against divorce, and wanted to postpone giving them pain as long as she possibly could. The surprise was really a surprise to them. It came off at a moving picture theater and was a film story of their own marriage. As they looked upon it and realized how they had promised to love, honor and cherish each other, the differences between them became very small indeed. Before the film had been run off the bride was weeping in her husband's arms, and he was telling her that it was all his fault, while she remonstrated and declared she alone was to blame. So the surprise was a surprise indeed, and it reunited a young couple who had been fast drifting apart.
