This year, anestimated 2.6million
couples will marry in Me United States
and, aceord1ngtot'igures gathered' by
JCPenny,.II 22 tttiL►ion wil] be spent to
outfit the bathrooms.of these newlyweds.
Why are bath items such popular. pre -
wedding purehase?
Aside from the bedroom, the bath is
perhaps the most intimate area in a cou-
ple's home. "And today, more.often than
not," says Cele Lath, editor in chief of
Modern ride magazine, "bathroom
space is a problem for newlyweds."
Consequently, bath accessories have
become increasingly important as brides
and grooms try to achieve both luxury
and efficiency in the bathroom suited to
both their styles.
In order to "come to a meeting of the
minds in terms of decorating and ac-
cessorizing," she counsels the couple to
ga to the store together, walk through,
touch and talk about the items.
Will a new husband feel comfortable in
a floral bath? The salespeople are train-
ed to help couples refine and coordinate
their tastes.
For example; if his choice of towels
rubs her the wrong way, Maggie Phillips,
director of home fashion for JCPenney
suggests: "The couple might look for
terry cloth towels in complementary col-
ors such as white and vanilla. Each could
be trimmed with gimitar details — or on-
ly the brides' could be trimmed."
The different colors will make them
easily identifiable and they will blend

beautifully.
The experience of decorating and shar-
ing a bath can provide a wonderful op-
portunity to work together, to accom-
modate each other, and to realize how
well suited you are to each other.

expense
It's traditional for the parents of the
bride to cover the entire cost of the cou-
ple's wedding. But this situation is
changing, according to Bride's
magazine,
For the first time, there's a definite
trend toward the sharing of wedding.ex-
penses. The groom's family, as well as
the bride and groom themselves, are tak-
ing on a chunk of the financial
responsibility.
One reason for this may be changing
attitudes towards the nature of
marriage.
In this era, a bride's parents are no
longer considered to be "marrying off"
their daughter, Rather, the wedding is
seen as the joining of two people, and
two families, with everyone contributing •
to the festivities.
