My parents eloped and got married in Oakland, MD in May 1941. As Bernice stated in her comment about the age requirement, my mother was a few weeks shy of her 18th birthday and had just graduated from high school. (They may have married in the same church as your grandparents. I will ask my parents and let you know.)

So happy you made that picture book.
Do you know why your grandparents got married in Oakland, Md?
Everyone under 18 went to Md because a minor didn’t have to have parental consent. Fun fact!
October is a blessed month for marriages. We just celebrated our 53rd on the 12th, my parent’s on the 11th had 48( my Dad died young) and my Aunt and Uncle on the 14th had 51!
