The wee flower girl, Mary Lee Viviano, was in white satin, and the ring bearer, Sam Frank DeStefano, wore a white satin suit, and carried the ceremonial rings on a white satin pillow. Lee Viviano served as best man; groomsmen were Charlie Morello, Joe ICantella, and Lee Cunzala, and Sam Degelia and Luke Ruffino 'were ushers. The attendants formed an isle through which the bride and her father passed to the altar to be met by the bridegroom and best man, and Rev. B.

Bravi, who officiated in marriage rites. The bride wore for her wedding, a Helen Twelvetrees model of lustrous i white satin, and illusion veil reaching beyond the train of the costume.
