Now I learn that instead of floral decorations we'll have just a few potted palms. In stead of a small orchestra, we'll have one accordionist. The wedding photographs will be taken by my uncle, not i r,...-; l A ..j u P I uy H piuit smuiihi. .11111 mr: t wedding cake will be made by my aunt. Mother said the caterer tacked nn so many extra charges that she de cided to save SfiO on the cake. I know we're not rich. But why must my wedding slip f.f back to such austerity? Mrs. D.C. - We started out. with the best of intentions. We wanted to give Evelyn the wedding of her dreams and we thought we had the right amount of money saved up to pay for it. We even felt more "flushed" than others in our income bracket, be cause Evelyn is a modest wage earner herself and was paying for her own wedding gown and most of her honey moon wardrobe. But the minute the word i "wedding" leaves your lips, everyone's mouth waters for a big profit. Ask to have pic tures taken and each pose is $100 a dozen. The caterer trapped us with a price that seemed fair, but then slipped us news of the things it didn't cover, like liquor, a wedding cake, souvenirs and decora ! tions. ; Evelyn will still have a nice ' wedding. It won't be a bon ' anza for the wedding business, though. ... i The Council: Anyone whose engagement has been an nounced knows how long is the gravy train which pulls up at the nearest track. Mrs. C. will nod assent to this description from a recent sur vey: "A marriage-bound cou ple sets looms spinning, ovens heating, engravers etching, vintners bottling, hothouses cooling, orchestras rehearsing, presses turning, diamond cut ters cutting, gift registries registering, social secretaries consulting, invitation address ers addressing, flashbulbs popping and parents praying." Naturally this billion-dollar Industry runs in horror from the couple who, if they're New York City folk, get mar ried for SI 1 at City Hall. That covers $5 for a blood test, S3 for a license and S3 for the civil ceremony. And it con centrates its attention upon the average wedding for a 500 total, Just to keep busy, but is always ready to pile on the extras which can bring the cost of a well-done wed ding to as much as S100.000. So, in the face of such finan cial astronomy, it's no wonder Mrs. C. panicked and back tracked. Does Evelyn really think the trimmings are worth going into hock for? Her wedding doesn't sound one bit austere, especially with so much affec tionate home -talent pitching In. Her parents seem to have taken sensible steps to halt a runaway situation, similar to the commercial! z a t i o n of Christmas, Easter and Moth er's Day Retaining the proper emphasis, the right values, is up to the customer. Mrs. C. has the good sense to know when to weave the Stop sign at the salesmen. Some parents, on the other hand, with incomes as low as $6,000 a year have found themselves paying off $10, 000 weddings for years and years If Evelyn and her husband-to-be want to divert some of their honeymoon funds for a fancier wedding, we offer them news of a honeymoon bargain. If they register with the Niagara Falls Area Cham ber of Commerce (Strand Theatre Bldg.) for a June trip, they'll get a "twofer" pass -that is. two for-theprice-of-one at the Falls.
