MAKE BELIEVE I do’s were finally exchanged on the days of Dec. 3 and Dec. 8 of the year 1986 after weeks of preparation. A lovely ceremony witnessed by delighted guests took much time and thought before the actual event took place. The right bridal gown was selected, the bridesmaids and groomsmen were chosen. Their dresses and attire were picked out according to the bride’s color scheme. In¬ vitations were sent out to various classes which were chosen by the students partici¬ pating in the wedding. The ceremony was held in the little theatre in traditional fashion. The guests were entertained at the beginning with special singing of students participat- O — Mock Wedding ing in the imaginary but life¬ like ceremony. Bobby Easter and Frances Hammett, students of Mrs. Kelly’s Family Living class, ex¬ changed wedding vows on Dec. 3, 1986. They were united together by Antoinne Flynn. Missy Newcomb and Scott Vest served as Maid of Honor and Best man. Bridesmaids, ushers, families of both the bride and groom, and directors were also very important to witness such an event. Ms. Hes¬ ter’s Family Living class held their wedding on Dec. 8, 1986. Teddy Whittaker and Freda Blevins were united in holy matrimony by Louis Johnson. Serving as Maid of Honor and Best Man were Nancy Hanks and Tim Viers. After the cere¬ mony was over, there was a reception held. As in tradition¬ al fashion the happy couple cut the cake and drank a toast to the beginning of a new life. The participants in the wed¬ ding enjoyed the reception held and acting out a wedding itself. Mock weddings gave the students who participated a realistic view of what life may have in store for each in¬ dividual. Family Living, taught by Mrs. Mary Kelly and Ms. Nancy Hester, was a class that gave students the knowledge and background which could be used throughout their lives. Many students were surprised at all the preparations a formal wedding required, and at the customs that could be kept. Participants of the wedding wait patient¬ ly for the bride.
