Of course, after I explained to her
that it was all in fun, she was more
willing. That, and the fact that my
friend3 and I didnt untie her until we
were inside.
The wedding usually start about 1 1
p.m., although Kingsley said the Pears
management is thinking of moving
them to an earlier time soon.
Normally, a couple ia supposed to
sign up for the wedding earlier Mon
day niht. Kingsley said Pears limits it
to five couples a night, and it's on a
first-sign, first-married basis. All five
couples are married in about 20 min
utes, he said.
"We try to make the whole thing
short and sweet," Kingsley said, "so as
not to bother the customers who don't
like this kind of thing."
However, he said, the response usu
ally is favorable. .
"The weddings mean different things
to different people," he said. "Some
times it's just guys asking women who
are in here that night and sometimes
weVe had people that are actually
engaged get married just for the fun of
it.". - -v
I can't imagine anyone really getting
married "just for the fun of it."
To make sure we were on the list,
Cindy and I signed up dcys before.
You'd be amazed at how nice people
are to you if they know you are writing
a story about their business.
We arrived with a small contingency
of friends including a best man and
bridesmaid, and it was a good thing.
IVe been in Pears a few times before
and I'd never seen fewer customers in
the place than this particular Monday
night.
Entertainment

Richard Lutz, owner of
the Richard Lutz Enter
tainment Agency, also
stressed the importance
of diversity at a wedding
dance.
"We want to please
everyone there the kids,
thegrar.dparents and every-
ons in between," he said.
Two ether local agen- ;
cies supplying bands for :
wedding dsr.cc3 are CID .
Productions and Applause '
Attractions.
Bob Codr of CID Pro
ductions said booking
rates far acts the Lar
son Brothers and the
Chuck Pennington Band
amoifj them ran? e from
$350 to CC00.
Applause handles more
rock bands that aren't as
appropriate for wedding
dances, but occasionally
books a single or duo act
or a jazz quartet for 200
to $500, agent Juli.2 Noc'ry
Craig Aridresen, our staff photog
raphy chief who went along specifi
cally to take pictures of his friend get
ting married, really cheered me up,
despite the lack of a much-wanted
crowd.
"Look at it this way, Bill," he said,
"more people are here tonight than
will show up for your funeral."
Craig uses a Polaroid One-step.
Kingsley said the weddings are very
informal, so I wore a Hawaiian shirt, a
painter's hat and sunglasses. Cindy
wore one of those Flashdance-type
sweatshirts; Pears provided a veil and
bouquet. I let her have the bouquet,
but I gave up the veil only after putting
up a real fight.
Either Kingsley or Kirk Welsch,
another manager, usually performs
the services, the vows of which contain
lines like "I, Bill, do take this voluptu
ous sex goddess to be my partner and
playmate for the duration of this
relationship." . -
And, "I, Cindy, do take this gorgeous
hunk of a guy to have, hold and share a
can of whip cream with."
After the wedding you can kiss the
bride, and there's the free champagne,
and Pears has a picture man, too. It's
fun.
There is one major hazard. Everyone
in the place is given rice to throw. You
wouldnt believe some of the places I'm
still finding rice.
Of course, there was one other mat
ter on my mind. ,
"Uh, Cindy, what did you have in
mind for a honeymoon?"
"Well, I don't know about you, Bill,
but I'm going home and going to bed."
"Just what I had in mind " I said.
"Maybe I'd better repeat myself, Bill
I said, I don't know about you ..."
