  The parlor was tastefully decorated with ferns and cut-flowers and the bride 
was beautifully dressed in white, with bride's roses in her hand.
  The canopy under which the couple were married was held aloft by four little 
girls. The guests held lighted candles in their hands.

Hebrew was said and given to the bridegroom who is supposed to keep it sacred 
an inviolable. The ceremoney closed with the breaking of wine glass by the 
bridegroom, symbolic of the impossibility of severing the relations of the 
wedding parties.
