Many of the host of friends who attended the wedding
of Catherine Blanas to Wilber D. Elliott Jr., June 14, wit
nessed their first Greek Orthodox service, because Catherine
wanted to be married in her home town with local friends
present. '
Since there is no church of her faith here, she and her
family made arrangements with the Rev. Galen H. Onstad,
rector of St. Paul's Episcopal
Church, to have Father
Samaris, of Holy Trinity
Greek Orthodox Chirch in
Portland, read the service at
St. Paul's. It is the first Greek

solemnised in Klamath Falls.

Catherine was given in marriage
by her father; and just prior to
the 4:30 P.m. rites, a large silver
tray holding two orange blossom
wreaths joined with a length of
satin ribbon: the two wedding
rlnes on a white satin pillow: two
lighted candles; and a sprinkling
of white candy-coated Jordan al
monds: was placed on a table near
the altar by George Vlahos, cousin
of the bride.
The almonds, blessed by the
priest, are symbolic of the couple's
future happiness and prosperity.
