The bride, given in marriage by her father, entered the church wearing a floor length gown of peau de soie with Chantilly lace.  Pearls and sequins formed a sweetheart neckline. The full, bouffant skirt was accented in the front with lace motifs and completed in the back by ruffles of peau de soie, edged with lace, and extending into a chapel train. She carried a bridal bouquet of red roses.
