Both wore floor-length, empire-styled gowns of red chiffon accented by a bow centered on a white band of satin encircling the waistline. A flattering ruffle framed the cavalier-shaped sleeves and the jewel neckline. Red veils were secured by French bows of white satin. They carried heart-shaped bouquets of ‘mums and carnations.
