The bride was lovely in a white gown of sheer rayon marquisette, made princess style with sweetheart neckline and lace yoke and girdle, and three rows of insertion to the end of the long train. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses. A fingertip veil. Held in place with a coronet of seed pearls, completed her costume.
