170 years ago today - Jun 29, 1842

Joseph Smith marries Eliza R. Snow. Brigham Young performs the ceremony. Eliza's journal entry for this day does not mention the marriage directly but says, "This is a day of much interest to my feelings, . . ." In later years her stake president, Angus Cannon, reports that she responds to the conjecture that her marriage with Joseph Smith was not consummated by saying, "I thought you knew Joseph Smith better than that."
