Hi Allman says his wedding on July 6 was "a bit out of the ordinary." And here's why: he took the hand of Ase Naustdal, a Norwegian he'd met in New York when she was a TWA hostess, in a traditional Norwegian ceremony in Bergen. The church was over 800 years old, and the bride and other women wore old-style costumes. Ase and Hi rode in a horse-drawn buggy to the church, as well-wishers lined the streets and waved flags. "Really quite exciting," Hi recalls. The reception lasted from 6 p.m. until 7 the following morning. Then the Allmans honeymooned through Norway, Sweden, and Denmark for six weeks, before returning to reality. They're now living in Manhattan, and Hi is with Feist & Feist Real Estate in Newark, N. J.
