Harry and Bess's Wedding Attire

Bess's mother wanted to make certain Bess would be the prettiest bride in town. Bess wore a white georgette dress with three quarter length bell-shaped sleeves, pointed white slippers, and a white brimmed hat. Harry wore a black and white checked suit, and he had a very, very short army style hair cut.
