As Grace had said Jessica would, in all probability, never look lovelier than in her wedding dress of white satin.

Her veil of wonderful yellow-white old lace, was an heirloom, Jessica being the fourth bride in the family to wear it, and her bouquet was a shower of lilies of the valley.

Jessica possessed a dazzlingly white skin, and the purity of her complexion had never showed to better advantage.

Her deeply blue eyes were dark with reverence and her whole face radiated a tender happiness that made it rarely lovely.

The bridesmaids wore gowns of white chiffon over pale green chiffon which blended into a misty, sea-foam effect.
