When my wife and I got married in July of 1967, we took our Tiger along 
with us, towing a small pop-up camper.  I carefully locked the car up 
before the festivities in hopes that we would not find it filled with the 
usual odd assortment of stuff and was successful for the most part.  When 
we got in the car and took off, I realized that my "friends" had tied the 
usual tin cans to the axle, but they were quickly dispensed with.  The next 
day, I pulled into a gas station in Massachusetts and, while the attendant 
was filling it up and washing the windshield (they did stuff like that back 
then), he asked me how long we had been married.  I told him "one day" but 
was afraid to ask how he knew we had just been married.  A couple of days 
later, it was raining and I turned on the defrosters and was greeted by a 
burst of rice grains coming through the vents.  When I investigated, I 
realized that my buddys must have been able to pry open the flaps on the 
convertible top and pour some rice onto the scuttle, where it was not 
visible from the drivers seat.  I, of course, was spending most of my time 
looking at my bride and only occasionally glancing at the road 
anyway.  They both still look pretty good (the car and the wife, that is 
;>))  Until I had the Tiger stripped and repainted, I would occasionally 
find a few rice grains, even after many years when they would bring back 
fond memories.
