Quite an assemblage of friends and rela- tives of the contracting parties and the host and hostess of the occasion, witnessed the ceremonies, which were according to the ritual of the Greek Orthodox church. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Stoumbelis stood up for beth couples.
 Dinner was served following the nuptials, and later in the day both couples of newlyweds left for ker- shaw. s. C., where the greoms are partners in candy business. Each couple had 6 newly furnished home awaiting them.
