Happily, recently Scrappy and Lovely Marie found that they were once again in the same town: St. Johns. They desperately wanted to be together again. With the help of their devoted friends, Scrappy proposed to the Lovely Marie and Marie accepted. The wedding plans began!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/11march\/depot.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nThe Lovely Marie and Scrappy pose in a pre-nuptial photo beneath a piece of the beautiful woodwork so well preserved inside the Sault Ste. Marie.<\/em><br \/>\nThe years had taken a toll on both Lovely Marie and Scrappy. Although they felt just fine inside, they had many cosmetic problems. Marie is determined to look her best for the wedding. She wanted a facelift which would be very expensive and take a great bit of work, money and materials to restore her to her original beauty. The wedding cannot take place until her facelift has healed. Scrappy also needs a new suit for the occasion. Sadly, Scrappy and Lovely Marie do not have nearly enough money to complete their dream. Would you please support these star-crossed lovers so that they may live happily ever after near the depot in St. Johns? A great fund-raising effort is being started in St. Johns and you can help!<br \/>\nPlease send your (tax deductible) donation to Clinton County Arts Council, 215 N. Clinton, St. Johns, MI 49979.
