Scope and content
A young bride and groom happily examine a large selection of wedding gifts in an August, 1951 photograph. She is holding her bridal bouquet with one hand while admiring a silver serving dish. Her new husband is reading the accompanying card. Presents displayed include an iron, lamps, soup tureen, candlestick holders, doilies and linens, glasses and china. Virginia Dittman and Jack Wood were married in the Friends' church in front of 250 guests. She wore a gown of white slipper satin and a cap adorned with tiny pearls and orange blossoms during the candlelit ceremony. (TNT 9-16-51, p. D-10)
