The bride who was given in marriage by her father wore a gown of white moiré taffeta fashioned with a long train, tight bodice, sweetheart neckline accented by pearl clips. The bodice buttoned down the back to the full skirt. Her silk illusion finger tip veil fell from a coronet of pearls and she carried a colonial bouquet of mixed flowers.
