Couple honeymoons at Myrtle Beach, SC
Angela Lee Kirkdorfer, Syracuse, and Jeffery Kenneth Goralczyk, South Bend, were united in marriage during a double-ring ceremony Saturday, June 9, 1990, in Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church, Syracuse. Rev. Richard Bunnell, pastor of the church, officiated the ceremony in the presence of 250 guests. The bride is the daughter of Jerry and Debra Leer Kirkdorfer, Syracuse. The bridegroom is the son of Kenneth and Sue Ellen Goralczyk, South Bend. Palms and double candelabras stood at the front of the church. The candelabras were decorated with ivy and baby’s breath tied with pink and white bows with pearls as accents. A Precious Moments Unity Candle graced the altar, arranged in a wicker basket draped with ivy and silk flowers and pearls. Pink and white bows decorated the pews throughout the entire church aisles. Suzanne Lisor, Syracuse, was organist, with David E. Yoder, uncle of the couple, Bristol, as soloist. Musical selections were “Ice Castles,” “The Lord’s Prayer,” and “Color My World.” The bride chose a gown with a sweetheart neckline accented with continuous pearls and sequins handsewn over reembroidered lace with a V-drop lace-covered waist. The cathedral train held four spaced bows with lace inserts framed with a lace hem sewn with pearls and sequins. Her headdress was a crown of pearls, sequins and rhinestones, with a pearl-edged scalloped veil. She carried a bouquet of roses, stefanotis, baby’s breath and ivy with irridescent pearls cascading through the flowers. Kari Branham, Ligonier, was the reception. Dancing began with the playing of “Tonight I Celebrate My Love. ’ ’ Syracuse; and Jennifer Lehocky, Muncie. Courtney Lovette, cousin of the bride, Bristol; and Whitney Price, cousin of the bride, Syracuse, were flower girls. Blake Kocher, Syracuse, was ring bearer.

DEAR DIANE: I’m in desperate need of your help. I’m a 24-year-old married woman with a four-year-old child and a newborn baby. When I first came home with the baby, things were great — and they always have been — until recently. My husband has been going out Friday nights (to the place where he was brought up), and coming home Sundays. He has a lot of friends where he goes, and says he’s too drunk to drive home, but when he does finally show up, he’s totally different with me, and he won’t make love with me. I never really thought much about it until a few days ago when I heard rumors of him and another woman. Weil, I confronted him and he denies being unfaithful. Yet, he wants to separate. He won’t tell my why. I love my husband very much. I don’t know what I can do. He said he’d never divorce me either, and that he does love me. Could it be “summer” fever, and it will pass, or is he jealous of the baby? I’m confused. Please try to shed some

sweetheart neckline. The waist featured a peplum with a bow ascending on the back. They carried bouquets of pink and white silk cascades with ribbons matching the colors of the dresses. Their headdresses were pink caplet hats with lace and pearls. Robert Webber, Mishawaka, was best man. Groomsmen were Kevin Goralczyk and Patrick Goralczyk, both brothers of the groom, South Bend, and Ed Zych, South Bend. Ushers were Kevin Goralczyk and Patrick Goralczyk. The bride’s mother wore a dress of light pink chiffon with pearl and sequin accents on the shoulders and at the drop waist. The mother of the bridegroom wore a mauve chiffon dress with three tiers of ruffles on the skirt. Their corsages were of white roses with rhinestone and pearl accents. Following the ceremony, a catered buffet dinner was served at Cocinero’s Party Hall. The hall was decorated with helium balloons in pink, green and blue.

light on this for me. I don’t know what to do. DESPERATE DEAR DESPERATE: I don’t think you should say yes to a separation. I believe it would be much more beneficial to your marriage for both of you to go to marriage counseling. It sounds to me as if your husband is seeking a "vacation” from marriage and responsibility. He says he loves you and won’t divorce you, yet be needs a “break.” The feelings he’s experiencing can be dealt with much more productively by a counselor. It could very well be that having a second child put him in some kind of panic. If he won’t agree to go to counseling, you should go yourself to help you put things in perspective. Also, I think you should put your foot down and tell him no more weekends away. It’s not fair to you and the children. Should he push for a separation, don’t do anything until you’ve seen a lawyer. His responsibilities should be clearly outlined and legal.

Eating lunch in Ohio
As if there hasn’t been enough going on around here this summer, this reporter and Daughter decided to drive to Lima, Ohio, on Aug. 7 for lunch. Os course, it was a bit more involved than just having lunch. Daughter and cousin, Marcy, who lives in Columbus, Ohio, wanted to visit. Neither one had a couple of days to spare, so it was decided they would meet at a halfway point for a couple of hours. Lima, Ohio, was chosen as the half-way point. This reporter had mentioned to Daughter several weeks ago that we needed to go shopping in Fort Wayne sometime before the last of August. So the two events were combined, and we were up by 5:30 a.m. on the 7th and on the road to Lima by 6:30 am. Daughter had some written instructions as to our destination that looked rather vague to me, but I wasn’t the one who talked to Marcy on the telephone. Breakfast was purchased at the drive-through window of a fast food restaurant in Columbia City.

Wed., August 15,1990 —THE MAIL-JOURNAL
It was a beautiful sunny day and traffic wasn’t heavy. We arrived at the restaurant in Lima at 10:30 a.m., our time. It was 11:30 a.m., Ohio time. After hugs and greetings, we ordered brunch/lunch and settled into some serious conversation. There was much to discuss about all of our current family activities and the well-being of aunts, uncles and cousins who are scattered around over a four-state area. We also shared our feelings concerning the recent death of a relative, and made plans for a family reunion scheduled for the last of August. I’m sure our waitress thought we were taking one of the longest lunch breaks in recorded history, but she was very nice and just kept pouring coffee. We left her a handsome tip. It was late afternoon by the time we got back to Fort Wayne. We launched a store-by-store search down through the mall for items on our shopping list. We found nothing we were looking for and made

one purchase we didn't expect to make. By the time we reached Colum-,. bia City, we were both hungry, so we stopped for dinner. It is not that far from Columbia City to North Webster, but Daughter informed me she would never make it without food and I believed her. She was the one doing the driving. When I got home, Hubby was anxious to hear all the family news. I guess the neighbors felt sorry for him, because he had to wait for his supper. When I looked out on the back porch where he had gone after eating, he was devouring a piece of chocolate cake and a bowl of chocolate ice cream. He gave me a mischievous smile and said, “I told Rob you wouldn’t feed me and he brought me ice cream and cake.” I suppose I could have been embarrassed, but after 37 years of marriage, I'm used to his teasing. And after all, I went to Ohio for lunch.
