make the ' couple's kiss
easier. That event marked
the start of today's wedding
cake!

the stiff-formality of church
or chapel weddings will
probably -.Choose to be
married in the' family gar-
den, however. Aside from
the sentimental attraction of '
a place you know and love,
the family garden can• pro7

If a young couple should
decide on a public park for
their wedding rites, it would
be advisable 'to check with
the proper authorities' first.
In some Cities, getting map.:

so popular, you have to
make a reservation!
