Ste Anne De Beaupre
marriage of Pierre Labbe and Marguerite Meusnier

"Pierre Labbe found some land which suited him in the parish of Saint Francois on the south coast of the island... Two months later, on 8 April, we find Pierre signing a contract of marriage with Marguerite Meunier, daughter of Mathurin and Francoise Fafart... Pierre escorted his young bride of 14 years and 8 months to the foot of the altar of the third church of Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre, where they were married by Father Fillon on 10 April 1674. Their honeymoon was spent in a boat crossing the ice-filled river between Sainte-Anne and Saint-Francois, Ile de Orleans."
