AN UNCONVENTIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY.
Among the host of New York's spring brides, the palm for originality is unanimously accorded to Miss Katherine Burritt, who has become Mrs Harold H. Deeming/The couple were married in the studio of the bride's parents, and the keynote of the ceremony was unconventionally. The bridegroom, the Mail states, wore a smoking jacket of white vicuna, finished with white satin, and his trousers were adorned with broad stripes of white silk at the sides. The bride wore a long-trained, sleeveless mediaeval gown of white satin charmeuse, elaborately trimmed with iropes of pearls, and a, cap similarly ornamented. She had no orange blossoms or bouquet. Her robe concealed her figure when she stood, but revealed it at every movement, and was declared to be superbly beautiful. The studio was illuminated with thousands of candles instead of electric lights, and the walls were draped with Oriental hangings. The conventional orchestra, playing the familiar wedding march from "Lohengrin," was superseded by eight girls in G'i'eek costume, who sang a Sweedish wedding march and selections from Grieg and others. There were no bridesmaids.
