The linked article, below, is quite interesting, though I think I'd have used a different term, than "kidnapped", to describe their plan to elope, and marry... but that's just me.
LT's bday is 05/24/1968
DT's bday is 10/17/1961
They were married 02/11/1985 (based on their marriage certificate).
The vow renewals, oddly enough, are not near their anniversary. I've never done a vow renewal myself but kinda figured it would be near the actual date of the marriage. Maybe they had the renewals on, or near, their elopement date? I've a cousin w/two marriage dates. Sort of... An eloped date (they did in fact get married when they eloped) and the date of the big hoo-rah. Her parents wanted her to have a "real" wedding, so, they had had a big, blow-out, wedding, for her parents. Two dates, but the eloped date, was the one my cousin considered the "real" anniversary. I know it doesn't really matter, in the grand scheme of things, I just found it interesting.
The renewal dates: Saturday, 10/29/2011; Monday, 09/02/2013; and Saturday,10/31/2015.
I noticed in this article, that someone had Disney's, Minnie Mouse, on their birthday(?) cake. The littlest one, on LT's lap, has a Disney shirt on, too. My kids and grandkids had Disney-themed birthday cakes, and wear clothes with a favorite Disney character on them. Somewhere, it seems, with LT, that Disney went from healthy fun, to unhealthy obsession.
I also took note of the family photos in the article, and, combined with the statements from LT's family members, along with just gut feelings, I think it is possible that LT carried with her, some unhealthy, generational, family dynamics, from childhood. I'm just basing that feeling on the interviews/statements,of LT's family, in this article, and feelings from other family interviews. I'm not saying this to be an alarmist, nor to denigrate LT's family, but, I am not so sure, just how "normal" LT's upbringing might have been (based in part, on this article). No one is smiling in any of the home photos and LT appears to be thin, herself, but not emaciated. The family photo is similar to some of the T family's photos too. Lined up, hands down. I wonder if Disney movies, may have been a happy memory from childhood, that carried over, into an adult obsession. Maybe LT, saw DT, as her sister said the family jokingly referred to him, as her Prince Charming, he was smart, and was capable of moving her away from WV, and her family.
