It seems the event of a wed- ding inspires others to follow the same path. My wife and I were engag- ed and married last year. Since our wedding in August, three of our six attendants have become engaged and have been, or will be, married. Carol's maid of honor was married Saturday. Her sister, also one of Carol's bridesmaids, was married in May. In each case Carol returned the honors and the favor of being maid (now matron) of honor and bridesmaid. My best man Mark Hough, will be married next month and it is my chance to return the favor. Of our other attendants: one usher was already mar- ried (though I attended his wedding, I don't believe it figures into this chain of events); the second usher is. only 17 (so there could be sur- prises but it's doubtful) ; and Carol's second bridesmaid is hanging out with some guy (also a friend,) so who knows? ' Each wedding has been drastically different in the types of people attending and I guess, nay perceptions of it. I must admit I felt very little involvement in -my own wedding. I think Carol and I shocked a few people when we an- nounced' our engagement (and set a date). After the in- itial happiness, and after the reaction when the idea sank in, followed a period of awe. Most suggested we would have a lot of decisions to make in the very near (pre - wedding) future.

The Sunday evening chapel service was cancelled due to the family gathering. We regret that Mrs. Martha Miller is a patient in Victoria Hospital, London. Mr. Gerald Sreenan has returned from the hospital. The regular monthly birth- day party was held on Thurs- day evening sponsored by the ladies of Goshen United Church. Following a variety programme, birthday gifts were distributed, courtesy of the Ladies Auxiliary of the home. Residents having birthdays during the month of June are Mrs. Edna Eickmeier, Mrs. Ruby Hoggarth, Miss Loretta Keller, Mrs. Beatrice Overholt and Mrs. Margaret Pfaff. Following the pro- gramme, the Ladies of the Goshen Church served a delicious lunch. f3ingowas played on Friday evening followed by refreshments. r• I thought of certain ideas for the most part it didn't really matter. A wedding is a wed- ding and the color of. the flowers wasn't going to spoil my day. But the times I was decisive and said "This is k ' I don't have years of childhood memories to draw upon, since I met him at college. We never really roomed together (for a few months, but that doesn't count), so I .don't know any of his bad s.{ Miscellaneous Rumblings By Rob Chester what I want to do...",in- evitably someone said, "No, you can't do that..." Small wonder I made few decisions afterwards. I have often noted . my perception is not always the way things were. It is interesting to note the difference in the wedding. At my sister-in-law's wedding, it seemed to me, the groom's side of theeventhad decided to have fun, no matter, what. The day of celebration was turned into a weekend of revelry. The most recent wedding seemed nervous and precise. The church was tight and from a photographers view- point, hard to move around in to get really good pictures. The hall too, was precisely laid -out tables and most -peo- ple seemed solidly fixed to their chairs. Mark's wedding should also be surprising. I'm not sure what to expect at the recep- tion, but already the wedding is unique. No thanks to Mark, I ex- pect, all the arrangements have been completed, and most details • were decided months ago. I assume there will be no neea for last minute racing about, and hopefully the decks will be cleared for a good time. My only problem is that it appears to be shaping up as a rather traditional wedding with speeches, et al. Mark is a good friend, but Golden agers elect new slate An election of officers who held at the June 14 meeting of the Golden Agers.

However, in terms of secrets to reveal, this is where my knowledge lies. A goodly amount of the time I spent with Mark was spent in consuming massive amounts of beer. The memories generated bring a good laugh when recalled, but they are hardly the stuff of a wedding speech. with friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith and family, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Creces and Mr. and Mrs. Gor- die Smith and family spent the weekend in Barrie and at- tended the wedding of their nephew Brian Smith to -Renee VanderWoude.
