In order to serve McHenry oreo brides, the Plaindealer moils wedding forms to all whose engagements have been announced in the paper and carry a definite date. We ask that these completed forms be returned three days before the wedding. The story containing all the information given on the form will appear only during the week following the wedding, except in the case of out of-state weddings, where an additional week is allowed Forms received the second week after the wedding will be prin­ ted with the omission of a description of the attire worn. Photographs will be printed any time later, or will be included with the wedding information if they accompany the story at the prescribed deadline. If your engagement announcement has not been published, or if the date of the wedding was not known at that time, please call our office ond request that a marriage form be sent. Space problems experienced by a non-daily newspaper, and a desire to print up-to-date news, make this policy necessary.
