satin with lace and pearl applique
lovingly fashioned for her by her
mother.

officiated at the ceremony, while
Alison Niculan, of Binbrook,
Ontario was the organist. George
Procter and his daughter Katherine

Love, with guitar accompaniment
by Katherine, just before the
wedding vows were made.
Following the ceremony, the bride

Leading off the new releases is On Deadly Ground ** (Warner), the
directorial debut of butt-kicking action star Steven Seagal. It's hard to
believe that it look five writers to come up with this predictably dumb
story that features Seagal as the indestructible hero battling an evil oil
company president played by Michael Caine in a performance that is
truly awful.
On the plus side On Deadly Ground does have numerous spectacular
explosions and loads of unintentionally funny bits of dialogue. (Rated R -
Very rough language)
The 1960s was a turbulent period in the social life of North American
society and, I guess, the world in general, but as the decade closed one
event brought the planet together if only for a short time. The landing of
Appollo 11 on July 20, 1969 and Neil Armstrong's words, "That's one
small step for a man and one giant leap for mankind", as he stepped on
the surface of the moon, were the culmination of a fierce competition
between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Marking this occasion Moon Shot **** (Turner - $19.95) is a four hour
documentary told from the perspectives of Alan Shepard, the first man in
space, and Deke Slaton, one of the original seven NASA astronauts.
Moon Shot includes never-before-seen footage, stories and photos from
both the NASA archives and the astronauts' personal collections.
Recommended.

While they're not out on video cassette, those of you who subscribe to
pay-tv's Family Channel may be interested in checking out The
Honeymooners Really Los Episodes. This program features sketches
which were originally broadcast live on the Dumont Television Network
in the early 1950s. Not to be confused with the lost episodes discovered
in Jackie Gleason's vault in the 1980s, these earlier sketches pre-date
Gleason's CBS series and contain some casting surprises.
Most people know the character of Alice as it was played by Audrey
Meadows, but in these sketches it is Pert Kelton who spars with
Gleason's Ralph in the first shouting match the Kramdens ever had.
Additionally, Elaine Stritch makes her one and only appearance as
Trixie, a role that was recast with Joyce Randolph as Ed Norton's wife.
Art Carney's role in the very first Honeymooners sketch was as a
policeman, and it wasn't until a few weeks later that he appeared as
Ralph's friend and neighbour Norton.
Snag Werris, a long-time gag writer for Gleason, salvaged these
kinescopes from being destroyed, by bribing mailroom workers with
bottles of whiskey. These kinescopes were discovered in a closet at the
Werris home only after his death.
This program is not just an interesting artifact from the early days of
television, but is very funny as well.
Among the other new and unpreviewed releases available this week is
the sci-fi sequel, The Hidden II (Columbia/Tristar) which features an
alien being who returns Uy Earth in search of a new human host.
