Pretend newlyweds Jim Worthington and Sandy Rudy exchange not only vows, but pieces of their wedding cake. You may kiss the bride!” Yes folks, it was the wedding cere- mony held anually by the Marriage and Family classes. These classes, which Shannon Selway re- ceives help on her passages from the Episcopalian Minis- ter, Mary Jacques. held approximately 22 students each, put on their own version of “playing house”. Each of the two classes decid- ed on their bride and groom by casting votes. The lucky winners were: Jim Worthington and Sandy Rudy; and Pat Flemming and Wendy Turner. But the spouses-to-be weren’t the only ones with a part of the action as several oth- er members of the class were selected as brides maids and best men.

Colors ranged from pastels to navies, peaches, and neutrals. With trendy acid washed jeans and dressier shirts, jeweled pins and big sil- ver accessories like chains, earrings and bracelets completed the look. Students paid more attention to what their feet wore. Outfits needed their own pair to show off. From canvas shoes without laces to brightly colored Converse hightops to neutral ox- fords—they all conveyed ideas about the wearer’s personality. Senior Leigh-Ann Whitworth had her own ideas of style. “I like to be cre- ative. I like to work colors into a mes- sage I can project. I put colors together to get different combinations.” Even guys got more into individual- ity. Instead of just jeans and a T-shirt, they wore pullover sweaters and classy shirts in bolder colors to go with com- fortable dress pants. Of course they still had Levis.

The ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church at 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon, making it easy for many students to attend. A reception was scheduled for after- wards in the church hall. Trying to get the ceremony as much like a real one as they possibly could, they even ordered a real wedding cake for the reception. Nuts and mints were also served. There wasn’t any alcoholic champagne to be seen in sight, but a full punch bowl was positioned on a center table. This is also the first year that a double ceremony has taken place. “It was fun and interesting at- tending and being a part of the double ceremony” said Senior Marraige and Family student Julie Howard. This class holds the resposibility of teaching life skills to the future spouses of America. Although it is an elective, many seniors take this class to better their life skills. “I have learned so much from this class, I can’t even begin to say how much,” said Senior Sandy Rudy about the skills and experience she ob- tained through this elective. —o 4 °,- a o Mock Weddings 15 o i» oj,o ° ° V o -f Q frP C 4 W
