Helen Mae StenvaII and Larry Stock
 Repeat Vows in CundIeIight Ceremony

Nearly every seat in the sane tuary of the United Protestant Church was occupied by their friends and families when Miss Helen Mae Stenvall and Larry c. Stock repeated their marriage VOWS after Rev. Harry Gayley in a double ring ceremony last Sat urday evening, June ', shortly after eight o'clock. Tall white tapers in two cathedral candela- bra furnished light for the nup- tial rites; baskets of pink gladioli decorated the altar.
 Miss Stenvall, daughter of John Stenvan of Naknek, Alaska, made her home with MT. and Mrs. Max Sherrod while she at tended school in Palmer. MT. Sherrod, well known Valley far mer and business man, accom- panied the bride down the middle aisle of the church and gave her to the groom in marriage. Mrs Sherrod was at the church organ where, before the ceremony, she accompanied Art Stacey as he sang two Wel1-beloved selections, Because" and "Oh, Promise Me The latter songs first sweet violets" were in evidence on the organ and were repeated later on the reception table As Mrs. Sher- rod brought forth the majestic tones of the Lohengrin Wedding March, the Sherrod's daughter, Mrs. Wendell Lewis, as matron ot honor, was the second person to advance down the aisle toward the altar. She was preceded by the bridesmaid, Miss Kathleen Patten.
 Seated in the first row at the left of the altar were the groom's parents, MT. and Mrs. L. C. Stock, prominent residents of the Val ley. Mrs. Clair Patten, acting as mother of the bride, sat in the first row at the right of the altar.
 Attendants of both the bride and bridegroom were their class mates of the Palmer High School Class of 1850. Miles Hyland was best man, and Harvey Cooper and Richard Branton were ushers.
 The bride chose a traditional white satin wedding gown with long sleeves, fitted bodice and bouffant skirt. She wore three strands of pearls at her throat. A beautiful fingertip veil was ''borrowed" from her matron of honor. She carried a wedding bouquet fashioned of single white orchid surrounded by white carnations.
 Mrs. Lewis was dressed in a street-length gown of pink satin with white lace cape; Miss Patten wore a white lace cape over a blue satin gown. Both carried nosegay bouquets of pink gladioli. The men in the wedding party all wore white carnation boutonnier- eS.
 Carnation corsages were worn by the ladies who assisted at the reception given by MT. and Mrs. Stock and MT. and Mrs. Sherrod immediately after the wedding ceremony in the church parlorS. A three tiered wedding cake ar- tistically decorated with calypso orchids and white pyroIa was served by Mrs. Neil Miller; it had been made by Mrs. William Hos kins. Mrs. Patten poured both coffee for the adults and punch for the youngsters. Mrs. Orin Tess presided over the guest book.
 The bride will be a junior at the University of Alaska when she returns there next fall to con- tinue her studies. The groom, who is associated with his parents in the Palmer Fountain and Cafe, will go into the Army next fall.
 A short honeymoon at Sheep Mountain will be followed later by a trip to the States, where the young couple plan to visit rela- tives and friends of their families.
