FAIR from Page 6
Molly McCormick, a senior ad
vertising major, said she thought the
shows did a good job of attracting
both men and women.
She said she was impressed with
the number of Lincoln businesses
that participated in the shows.
Approximately 5,000 people
walked through the 60 booths at The
Wedding Fair, Brehm said.
Six hundred brides-to-be regis
tered at the KFOR Bridal Forum and,
altogether, there were about 1,500
people who attended the show, Hart
man said. About 25 businesses ex
hibited at the fair.
Pam Ouen, who attended the
Wedding Fair, said she found the fair
too crowded “almost to the point
where you didn’t want to walk
through the booths.”
The Wedding Fair was at the
Comhusker Hotel and the Bridal
Forum was at Pershing Auditorium.
Ouen, a senior Home Economics
major, said she found booths from
wedding stores very helpful because
they had little things you might want
and didn’t know where to get.
Most of the booths weren’t too
helpful to her, she said, because she’s
not getting married in Lincoln. But
she said it was fun anyway because
J’ Maries Bridal Shoppe, where she is
getting her wedding dress, had a
fashion show so she could see all the
dresses on models.
Nancy Ruby, a senior chemistry
major, said the shows didn’t help her
very much because she already has
her wedding planned. But, she said,
the bridal fairs would be the thing to
go to if sompone is in the early wed
ding planning stages.
Harry Mulligan, owner of Special
Moments Wedding Shop, said that
for businesses bridal fairs save a lot
of advertising dollars.
“They let you direct advertising
to the people who will be using your
services during the first part of the
season,” he said.
Names are taken from the regis
tration and put into a mailing list for
the businesses so that they can send
out information to the future brides
and grooms.
Hartman said the shows are set up
to be informational. He said the Bri
dal Forum had financial speakers,
ministers and gynecologists speak, in
addition u> the information given by
businesses.
“Bridal fairs tell you what every
one needs to know,” McCormick
said.

'After the Moment — now what?
By Deanne Nelson
Supplement* Editor
So, “The Moment” is over and
now it’s time to start the life together.
Where do couples go from here? Into
a life full of arguments over those
little things that seem to add up into a
huge pile like laundry? Hopefully
not.
We at the Daily Nebraskan have
tried to help couples with coping in
their new status as newlyweds by
setting up a special section on newly
wed issues. We have interviewed on
and off-campus psychologists and
counselors to help shed some light on
these issues for those just starling out
- those who need it most.
An article on page 11 deals with
the power struggle between strug
gling newlyweds. It delves into the
issue of relationship control and
makes suggestions on how to control
this deed to control. «•
Times are changing, and auiuides
and behavior change along with the
times. Page 12 is devoted to seeking
out these changes, if any, toward
sharing responsibilities around the
house or apartment. These responsi
bilities not only include the tradi
tional housekeeping, but also keep
ing up with the bills and the children.
Page 13 is a glance at the past for
reauus to see opinions from years
ago up until last year. As we are in the
last stretch of the 80s, it will be inter
esting to see what the future holds in
the decades ahead of us. Will our
outlook seem as dated then as the
ones from years ago?
Honeymoons certainly come
“After The Moment” - sometimes
belated or even a second time
around. An article on page 14 focuses
on current honeymoon hot spots, the
going rales of these trips and what is
included in the price. Oh, and no
I
mailer what the bride’s magazines
may say, Scott Harrah still docs not
recommend the Poconos (p. 13).
After “the honeymoon's over”,
reality sets in and lives get back to
normal. An article on page 14 makes
suggestions to help couples live
through these sometimes not-so-cx
citing times. It also contains couple
time ideas from locally recognized
figures such as Mrs. Bill Hams and
Mrs. Tom Osborne.
Finances are always an issue with
everybody, but especially with new -
lywed college students. An article on
page 15 deals with married-student
financial aid and married-student
housing options. Another article on
this same page contains some namc
changing options for those willing to
try something different.
We hope we have been helplul..
. May you live ‘’ Happily Lver After’’
The Moment.
