After saying "I do" on July 2, 1968 on Cook`s 22nd birthday, Letterman, then 21, left for Indianapolis to tell his parents the good news and begin to make arrangements for their senior year living arrangements. Not everything went as planned.
Fully one month transpired, and Michelle had not heard a word from Dave. He had not returned numerous phone calls from her.
On Friday afternoon, Michelle took matters into her hands once again. She traveled 55 miles to Indianapolis, to Dave`s house, whereupon she had a meeting with Dave`s parents, Joe and Dorothy. They had no prior knowledge of why Michelle wanted to see them and were understandably dumbfounded to learn their son had married Michelle some four weeks prior. According to Michelle, Dorothy`s first reaction was that Michelle must be pregnant. Why else would her son do such a thing, get married without so much as hinting at such a prospect?
Michelle vigorously maintained she was not pregnant, showed all the official paperwork and said she intended to stay married. She did allow that there were some things she obviously still needed to work out with Dave and had every expectation of doing just that. She later said that Dorothy was quite upset and seemed to feel that her son has somehow been hoodwinked by this vixen.
Michelle recounted, "I told Joe and Dorothy, `We are all adults and can handle this situation like adults. Plus, I`ve had some courses in psychology.` "
"Don`t tell me about your courses in psychology, honey," said Dorothy.
(Letterman came home from work hours later, the scent of alcohol strong on his breath.)
As he turned on the light switch, Dorothy`s voice pierced the night air with the words, "David, Michelle was here. I think we need an explanation."
Dave went into the living room to face the music. "Yes," he said, "It`s true. We got married. No, she`s not pregnant. No, she didn`t talk me into it. Well, I just didn`t know how to tell you. I haven`t thought about everything, but somehow we`ll manage."
