Description: 
The photograph was taken in Cairo, on the occasion of the wedding of Armenian-Cypriot Dickran Melikian and Egyptian-Armenian Alice Meutemedian either in 1919 or 1920. The groom is wearing a western-style suit, and white shirt with a high collar. The bride is wearing a white, ankle-length dress, white gloves and a hat that has a long transparent veil attached to it. Around the couple, the men are wearing European-style suits and fezzes. The man on the left side of the photograph is wearing a brimmed straw-hat decorated with a dark ribbon, and is holding a walking stick. The car for the newly-wed couple is decorated with flowers.
