/Miss Rumball Wed in Impressive
Nuptial Ceremony at St. Michael's
—Photo by Palmer Studio
Miss Barbara Rumball became
the bride of Jasper Skok in a
beautiful wedding ceremony fol
lowed by a nuptial Mass that be
gan promptly at 9:30 Saturday
morning in St. Michael’s Catholic
Church. ,
The ceremony was preceded by
a duet of Schubert’s “Ave Maria”
sung by Mrs. C. A. Brewer and
Paul Martin, with Mrs. Brewer
at the organ.
To the tune of a Rossini Pro
cessional the bride followed her
maid of honor, Miss Betty Kreutz
down the aisle toward the altar
on the arm of her godfather,
Henning Blunk. Standing at the
altar with the groom was his best
man, Steven Duda of Anchorage.
Father Charles Skok, brother of
the groom, performed the mar
riage ceremony and the impres
sive Mass that followed it. This
wedding ceremony, uniting his
brother and Miss Rumball, was
the first performed by the young
priest, who was recently ordained
in Spokane, Washington. Two
altar boys assisted Father Skok
at the nuptial Mass, which was
interspersed with appropriate
sacred selections, sung by Paul
Martin.
’ The altar rail was decorated for
the occasion with baskets of tap
ering gladioli, pink and white,
and accented with sprigs of huck
leberry tied with wh'te satin
bows.
The green-leafed sprigs also
marked the first row of seats
where sat the bride’s mother, Mrs.
Margaret Rumball, who had come
from Minneapolis to be present
at her daughter’s wedding. There,
too, sat the bride’s godparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Henning Blunk.
The bride was radiant in a
floor-length gown of white satin
skirt and bodice. An overskirt of
nylon marquisette was ringed
with bands of white satin. From
the low-cut bodice, a yoke of
marquisette continued to the
throat where it was topped by a
tiny peter-pan collar. A short
veil of marquisette was attached
to the bride’s blonde hair by a
white wreath. She carried gar
denias with long, white satin
streamers on a white leather
bound prayer book, a gift of the
groom.
The maid of honor wore a
street-length gown of pale blue
satin with a nylon net overskirt.
She carried a colonial bouquet of
American Beauty roses.
For her daughter’s wedding,
Mrs. Rumball chose a taffeta
dressmaker suit of a grey, black,
and pink print. The pink was re
peated in her corsage of pink
roses and a tiny flower hat.
White carnation boutonnieres
were worn by the men in the
wedding party, including the two
ushers, Ward Harrington and An
drew Patton Cullison.
A reception at the Matanuska
Lodge followed the ceremony.
All the wedding guests were in
vited, including the bride’s re
cent third grade pupils. The
youngsters eagerly took advant
age of a prerogative seldom pos
sible in a teacher-pupil relation
ship. They pelted her and her
new husband with handfuls of
rice as they entered the lodge.
The children were the new Mrs.
Skok’s special guests. They had
their own special table, their own
special wedding cake, and punch.
Mrs. Ward Harrington presided
at the table.
The older guests were served
from a table in front of the fire
place, with bowls of pink and
white carnations and white dais
ies above on the mantle. The
three-tiered wedding cake was
