DescriptionTwo black and white contact sheets of a register office wedding and informal small reception. Guests include Kathleen Garman, Beth Lipkin and Frisky the dog. The first contact sheet has 12 images, 8 from the reception, 3 from the ceremony itself (including signing the register and the exchanging of rings) and one of the happy couple outside Kensington Register Office. The second contact sheet has 9 pictures, 3 from the reception and the others seemingly on the walk back from the register office. The Bride is wearing a white sari, ornate jewelry, a corsage of small white flowers in her hair and (except for the reception photographs) a thick wool coat with a velvet collar. The Groom is wearing a dark, double breasted suit and overcoat. Kathleen is wearing a dark suit with a slightly lighter jumper under it, and a necklet with bright metallic beads. Beth is wearing a full length light wool coat. The final guest is a rather elderly man wearing a light, tweedy looking suit. Both sheets are stamped 'Copyright Photograph by Jitendra Arya' on the reverse in blue.
