And yet, for so many years, weddings were stereotyped exaelty like the other except for the faces and the color of the bridesmaids dresses. Today, with so many couples wanting to do their own thing - to make their weddings Jpore meaninglul and more personal e there is a new freshness to the ceremony. time-honore- d mar-Biag- Utote? Often the newness is in the actual Jocation of the wedding, it may take fclace on a beach, on a sailboat, on a iilltop, or in a formal garden. The Jervice may be quite traditional, or it Jpav be written by the couple Vliemselves The bride may wear a ieautiful white bridal gown while the iroom wears a velvet Edwardian Suit. Or even though the cermony is toeld in a church or chapel, the principals may be wearing Mexican or Indian dress - perhaps because they met on the Yucatan peninsula or at the Taj Mahal. The meal at the reception could be Mexican chili and tacos or curry and saffron rice, far more appropriate to the occasion than filet mignon or creamed chicken - more traditional menus. Mol A wedding should be great fun for everyone, but marriage is a serious step and should be treated with the dignity and respect it deserves. Fun, yes, but childishness, irreverence and ostentation should have no part in it.

Jheir future relationships with their parents, thev must consider their feelings too. For example, a asked me recently if she had Jo walk up the aisle with her father. Jklthough she loVfed him, she, as an Jurdent Womens Libber, resented the that a man' should give her j&way. I cannot help but feel that her Jiesire to take that stand for her independence was not nearly so important as the hurt she was inflicting zn her father. life-styl- or SILK WEDDINGS FREE BRIDAL CONSULTANT Wedding ace. 1 props available 3841 Highland Dr. DOUGS TV PAPANIKOLAS 278-202- 1 VILLAGE TV WESTERN AUTO FURN beautiful, becoming, and have a certain dignity.

This includes the clothing of the bridal party and the guests. To suggest on the invitation that the guests come in any clothes, including jeans, certainly does not add to the specialness. Naturally, at an informal outdoor wedding the men would not be expected to wear suits or shirts and ties and sports jackets if they are cone of the particular trary to the group. But they should change out of their everyday clothes into neat, clean slacks, turtlenecks, sport shirts, or whatever to them is special clothing.
