The bride and groom promised Klara Remeshkova, the equivalent of a justice of the peace, that they would preserve their love for all their lives, be faithful and loyal and stand together in love and sorrow...
...appeals had denied a stay, and they sadly closed. Mrs. Brennan will make a final appeal to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, but a reversal seems unlikely.
