Because of the number of showers, the task of picking a wedding present is increasingly difficult. Used more widely and efficiently than ever before is the custom of the bride's giving a department store a list of acceptable gifts; wedding guests may then call the store, buy their gifts. Like many another bridegroom, Washington's Jonathan Roosevelt, 21, son of Kermit Roosevelt and great-grandson of T.R., gaped at the store-sized inventory of presents ("Look at all that stuff") before his marriage this week to Jae Barlow, 20, a descendant of Edgar Allan Poe.

More and more brides are trying to avoid the hordes of "wedding-industry" salesmen by placing all their arrangements in the hands of a "marriage coordinator," such as Mrs. Gertrude Doran, 54, of Los Angeles. This year Mrs. Doran ("I can do as many as four weddings a day") is pushing two new gimmicks for her clients: a layer of frozen wedding cake for presentation to the bride and groom as a first-wedding-anniversary present, and a tape-recorded You Are There commentary by a mellifluous announcer who describes the garb, step, and emotional tone of the whole wedding...

That night the couple retired to one of Hussein's palaces, Basman, where they had the company of two pet lions...
...inherits a well-oiled machine. Hudson's refund policy costs the company about $25 million a year, but pays off in customer loyalty. So high is Hudson's reputation that Detroiters frequently package wedding gifts bought elsewhere in Hudson's boxes. (Rather than disillusion a bride, Hudson's will exchange even these.) Despite its emphasis on service and quality, Hudson's has met the competition of the discount houses by refusing to be undersold, will refund the difference in price on any item that a customer has bought at Hudson's and later sees...
