The bride entered on the arm of her father, Felix Vaccaro. Her gown of candle light satin was fashioned with a sweetheart neckline and long sleeves ending in points over the hands. The bodice and sleeves were appliqued with Belgian Princess lace and seed pearls. The full skirt fell to a cathedral train. The veil of matching lace was worn in Medona fashion. She carried an old fashioned bouquet of lilies of the valley.
