Pitts St. Telephone 833-1028 Astrology -- that ancient and strange “science* -- has long held the stars to be responsi ble for people and events. Even today in the far East, astrology plays a larger part in marriage than does the mutual love and consent of the couple involved. In China, until recent years, the families of the Bride and Groom consulted a fortune teller as to whether the “signs* would bless the couple or not. To de termine this, vital information such as the year, month, day and hour of the couple’s birth was needed. If the signs were favor able and no unusual events oc curred within three days, the marriage contract was signed and plans for the marriage — which always took place during the wax ing, not the waning, of the moon — could begin. Dillard Boland, Jewelers does not have an astrologer to help the Pride-to-Be plan her Wed ding, but we do have a trained and authoritative Bridal Consul tant who is prepared to help you with all details at the Wedding.
