The bride wore ivory satin and an antique veil. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations, blue forget-me-nots, and yellow columbines. The identical flower girls wore matching dresses, one pink, one blue. Another little girl was dressed in yellow and carried the train. The bride’s mother wept.
The bridegroom wore white satin knee-breeches, white satin swallow-tail coat, white brocade waist, and snow-white linens. His valet wept harder.
