Description:
Studio photograph commemorating the wedding of Hrant Utidjian and Marie Melikian, daughter of Artin and Elise Melikian, on 27 December 1918. The groom is wearing a western-style suit with a white, high-collared shirt and a white bow tie. The bride is wearing a western-style, calf-length wedding dress, complemented with a long transparent hooded veil, with fine decoration all around its edges. She is also wearing white, heeled shoes and elbow-length gloves. Her appearance reflects the fashion of the second decade of the 20th century. She is looking at and touches a flower bouquet placed on top of a high stand. This wedding lasted only four years.
