The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-09-20, Page 29PAGE 8A—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1979 Tradition not necessary Of all the ceremonies of life, the wedding is one of the most festive, joyous, and best -loves. No matter how much times may change and customs vary, the expression of love, faith and trust found in the wedding ceremony is a constant source of inspiration. Even with the current trend toward alternate life-styles that do not involve the commitment of marriage, statistics prove that marriages are as popular as ever, and there has been an in- crease in the 70s in people "tying the knot." Today's couples have more opportunities than ever to enrich this vital ceremony of life with their own personal ex- pressions and make their wedding truly the most meaningful event of their lives. Gone are the days of the standard -looking bridal gown, the days when Lohengrin was the only bridal march to be heard, the days when couples had little choice but to promise to love, honor and obey --even though they felt there was so much more to be said. The clergy and marriage counsellors alike now encourage couples to find the music and words for their wedding ceremony which truly express what they feel for each other and their future together. If they decide that the traditional bridal chorus and church vows are just what they want, that is fine, 1 Wed in Goderich St. George's Anglican Church in Goderich was decorated with white pew bows and bouquets of white spider mums for the wedding ceremony of Pamela D.
