Barbara said there would be little point in moving into the Mayor's official residence, which the couple would have to vacate when his term expires on pec. 31. She said they still have to do their house-hunting1. Like any slightly fidgety fiancee she said: "Any bride Wants to decorate her own home." And then she added: "I am ecstatically happy." iff- A 1 'P Jt 7f To ST.

yy -y The Mayor and Barbara, at his I Irs- Jan Cavanagh, wife of an other brother, John, will be the Bummer home in Islip, L. for a cookout, also disclosed that they will have a simple wedding-Ceremony rather than an elaborate nuptial Mass. Cardinal Spell-man will perform the rite in matron of honor. Wagner had previously reported that his elder son, Robert 21, would be best man. If he could "have the both of them," he added, he would like hs younger son, 18-year-old Duncan, as an additional best man.

Barbara was spending the weekend at the home of Judge Charles Tenney, 65 South Saxon in Bay Shore, which is far from Wagner's place at 99 Ocean Drive, Islip.

A few minutes later, at his home, Wagner cleared up this minor mystery. Shopping for what? He answered prosaically: "For food for my cookout this afternoon." In addition to Barbara, the mayoral guests included Deputy Mayor and Mrs. Cavanagh, Judge and Mrs.

Tenney and their daughters and Mr. and Mrs. Edward G. Miller. Miller was a college classmate of Wagner.

Saya It's Undecided The Mayor said he and Barbara were just relaxing over the weekend and added wistfully: "We'd like to be able to relax until the wedding date, but I know that's impossible." Asked about honeymoon plans, Wagner said: "Actually, we haven't decided where we might go. Our honeymoon might be about a week or a little longer, but I doubt very much if we'll be going to Europe." The long-rumored, ever-denied engagement was finally confirmed Friday afternoon in an announcement by Barbara's mother, widowed Mrs. Edward F. Cavanagh Sr. of Glen Cove, L.I.

She had her daughter-in-law Joan phone the newspapers and wire services. Wagner said yesterday that he was glad "to set the record straight" about his own series of denials, the most recent being Thursday evening when he arrived home from Denmark. "I have always felt that my personal life was not something to be discussed at a press conference," he explained. "On almost every occasion that I was asked, it was either at an airport at a labor negotiation session, at a political meeting or at a press conference having to do with some city crisis. "I just didn't feel that I should discuss a thing of this sort in view of what we had previously been discussing.

Son Was In on It "Furthermore, once the plans were completed, Barbara and I both felt that it would be up to Barbara's mother to make the announcement. This was made not at a press conference and not from City Hall. "I think this was correct." His son, Robert, disclosed that he had known about the impending announcement since his graduation from Harvard last month. picture on page 1) 'Mr Edward F. CTnfh Jr.
