It seemed logical for Dennis O'Connor, 24, and Mary Lou McMahon, 22, to want a Rus sian ceremony even though both are from New Jersey. The two met at Middlebury College in Vermont, where they had pledged to speak only Russian while studying the language. They fell in love and became engaged. True to their promise, they spoke Russian only. The couple decided to mar ry at a Russian ceremony in Moscow, where Dennis later was to study international law. The wedding came off as scheduled - but wasn't anything like what they ex pected. '' ; ' Back home again, the new Mrs. O'Connor, told about their experience. " Church Weddings Rare "Dennis had to work so hard with the American Em bassy to arrange a church wedding for us," c she said. "Weddings in churches have become rare in Russia." Finally, a Polish priest was allowed to conduct the cere mony at St. Louis Roman Catholic Church in Moscow. "People crowded around outside, the church as we got married," Mrs. O'Connor, said, ."There were a . lot of elderly women in shawls who seemed to remember, the old time weddings, and who cried. But the younger people just seemed aghast, as though they never had seen anything like it." ' " In deference to Soviet cus tom, the couple was married again 10 days later . in real Russian style-with a', bureau cratic, civil ceremony. The heart of the ceremony consisted of plunking- down 15 rubles, or $1.50, before a plump woman office worker. Then the couple signed a reg ister and had their passports stamped. Either Name Acceptable . The office worker asked Mary Lou whether she want ed tokeep her own name or take.her husband's; since in Russia the women can ar range it either way. The bride said she preferred to be Mrs. O'Connor. "Then is was all " over," said the bride. "I wouldn't say there was much romance involved." The Russian press widely played up the civil ceremony -but completely ignored the church wedding, she said. "They were so anxious to suppress all news of the church marriage that I had the impression someone was outside the church shooing people away, as we got mar ried," she said. Gassy?
