My wife didn't understand till we took a 3 week trip to the Canadian Rockies
in our '74 Westy. Actually, I proposed on the trip and we got married in
Jasper Alberta. The JOP said "you need 2 witnesses for the ceremony." We had
seen another mid-seventies Westy (same color as ours) on the road a few
times earlier in trip. So, while we were in town (at the laundry) guess what
pulled up... the other Westy. We spoke to the couple (Lionel and Jackie
Ashcroft) and they said they would be "delighted" to witness the event.
After the ceremony we pulled the Westy's up side by side and had a small
reception. Then, they headed East and we went West. That was almost 4 years
ago.

We now drive an '89 Westy and she waves along with me whenever we pass a
fellow Vanagon-head on the road.
