CEA oS RES RY hr A & % Ay by Millie Hogoboom 3 696-2603 My. my. how. times have changed. A number of our friends have recently celebrat- ed their silver anniversaries. daughters of our friends have been married this summer. So I have had ample opportunity to make some interesting obser- vations about the current changes taking place in wed- ding customs. The invitations seem much less formal, often in color and even decorated with flowers. The latest one read “Our joy will be more complete if you can share in the marriage of our children.” Arriving at the church, one is greeted by those handsome young groomsmen who are wearing ever more elaborate outfits. Their formal shirts rip- ple with ruffles and come in a variety of colors from light green to lavendar. Hats for women, even the bride’s mom, are now tabu, except for the bridesmaids, almost all of whom wear large floppy straw ‘picture’ hats. The most pop- ular bouquet for the attendants are ‘usually casual baskets of daisies. Guests’ attire is option- al regardless of the wedding hour. and it can range from pants to suits, to formal evening gowns and *‘Sunday Best’ short dresses. ‘Because’ and ‘I Love Yeu Truly’ are dead and buried. Even the processional from Lohengrin has been re- placed by more popular music on occasion. However, the most important change of all has been in the vows themselves. Young people today do not take anything for granted. So it is to their credit that they give serious thought to the troth they pledge. Fre- quently they rewrite it to suit their beliefs. Even whole mass- es have been written by young couples. So one of our most sacred church rites is. now Hopefully, on their silver wed- ding day. the vows they have written will have a deeper meaning for them than ever be- fore. One young couple has even gone so far as to write the entire daughter. Sue and Bob Roese of Fieldcrest spent time and thought in writing the pledge for their daughter, Amber’s bap- tism. It was performed recently by the Rev. Charles Gommer of the Church of Christ Uniting. Grandparents. too, are making news these days. John and Barbara Vivian are espe- cially excited about their first grandchild. He is Eric John Erving. son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Erving of Winterset. and he arrived July 28. Mrs. Irving is the former Leslie Vivian. Barbara spent last week helping take care of the new mother and baby, and she re- Joseph Stash of Chase Road is especially happy to have his la- test grandson as his namesake. The baby is Joseph Stash, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stash of July 28. He weighed in at six pounds, 13 ounces and was 19 in- ches tall. He has two big bro- thers, Larry, age 8 and Michael, age 7 and a sister, Susie, age 4. He was christened last Sunday at St. Anthony's Church of his uncle. Robert Stash. and his aunt. Theresa Stash. Paul and Maxine Priebe of College Manor have ‘a new She is Kristen Elizabeth Koch, daughter of Janice and Norman Koch of St. Louis. Mo.

The Kochs also have a the Priebes travelled to St. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gard- ner of Nashville, Tenn., former residents of Dallas. spent the weekend visiting Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander of Pioneer Avenue. They came especially to attend the wedding of Carol Mohr to Kenneth Streit at the First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre, Aug. 4. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Laskow- ski. Chase Road. and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Wall, Alden, spent the weekend recently visiting the Laskowski’s daugh- ter. Mary Ann Parsons, in Alex- andria, Va. Mary Ann gave them a guided tour of many places of interest in the Nation's capitol. They visited the quaint area of Georgetown. Dulles Air- port. and Arlington Cemetery where they saw the Kennedy tomb: and the Lee mansion. They had a special treat visiting - the office of the Editor of the Daily Digest of the Senate, Dwight Galt. Mary Ann is em- ployed as the associate editor in that office. Did you read about the 600,000 fans who recently converged on the Watkins Glen Music Festi- val? Just ask any one of them if it was worth the effort to get there? The answer comes loud and clear, ‘‘Yes, the music was fantastic!’ For an eyewitness report of this event we called Bonnie Kanarr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kanarr, Sut- ton Road. She made the trek ac- companied by her friends, Debbie Koehl, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Warren Koehl, Dallas; Binkie Parkhurst, daughter of Betsy Parkhurst, Kingston; Donn Innes. son of Mr. and Mrs. Donn Innes. Sutton Road; and Ricky Demmy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Demmy, Dallas. The group arrived late Friday night and had to walk the last few miles before setting up a campsite in the woods on the edge of the festival grounds. They were well-equipped with plenty of food and water which they shared with others who had not been so smart. Although they could not see the band stand. they could hear every note played by the three groups, “The Grateful Dead”, ‘Allman Brothers’, and ‘The Band”. The concert got underway about noon Saturday and by 9 p.m. Bonnie and her friends be- gan to realize the magnitude of the audience. So they wisely de- cided to break camp and head for home some four hours be- fore the end of the concert. Everyone they met was polite and well-behaved. No one seem- ed to mind the 1!» hour wait to use the phone or the two hours standing in line for the toilet. Claustrophobia must be passe. For in spite of all, the music was so great. it made all the incon- veniences, worthwhile. Pro- bably a lot more kids wished they could have been there. Mrs. Joseph Beckham of Charlotte, N.C. formerly of Dal- las. is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sweitzer of 70 Pinecrest Ave. You have not tasted cheese cake until you taste a piece of Barbara Casper’s cheese cake. It fact it was the ‘‘piece de re-. sistance’’ last Friday evening when Barbara and Bob invited a small group of neighbors and friends, in to meet their house guest, Senorita Lupita Padilla of Mexico City. She is the daughter of Senor y Senora Ro- herto Padilla of Mexico. Her father was a special guide for the Caspers on all five of their visits to Mexico and he is also well known to many other people in the area. Senorita Padilla is spending the summer here and hopes to visit Wash- ington. D.C. and other points of interest. The Casper home on Hillside Road was also the setting of a lovely party last Sunday hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wolfe r., and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Casper in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Donald C. Smith of Daytona, Fla.. formerly of 86 Academy St.. Wilkes-Barre. The Smiths are visiting their daughter, Bonnie, at her home at Bear Lake.
