Photograph of the wedding of Dr. Dickran Utidjian and Edith Lomax, in London in October 1926. The woman on the left is wearing a simple, western-style long-sleeved and knee-length dress, made from a light fabric. She is also wearing a brimmed hat, tights and heeled shoes with a strap, and is holding a bunch of flowers. The two men on the right are both wearing western-style suits with vests and white shirts with high collars. However, the gentleman with the beard has chosen a suit in a darker colour, a tie and gaiters over his black shoes, whereas the man on the far left is wearing a suit made of a lighter material, and a bow tie. The groom is wearing a western-style dark-coloured suit with trousers made of a different, striped fabric. He is also wearing a light-coloured vest, a white shirt with a bow tie, and gaiters that cover part of his black shoes. In his left hand he is holding a pair of white gloves. The bride is wearing a white western-style, knee-length wedding dress and a long transparent, embroidered veil attached to a hood, which is heavily embroidered with pearls. She is also wearing white stockings and heeled shoes with pointed toes and a strap. She is further accessorised with a long pearl necklace, and is holding a rich bouquet of white lilies.
