...Bridal Gown. Happy was born to a wealthy, well-connected family. Her father, William W. Fitler, left a $4,000,000 estate when he died in 1947. Most of it came from a family ropemaking firm founded by Happy's grandfather, Edwin H. Fitler, a onetime (1887-91) mayor of Philadelphia. Her mother, Margaretta Harrison Fitler, was the great-granddaughter of General George G. Meade, the Union commander at the Battle of Get tysburg. Happy's Main Line parents were divorced in 1936. Her father remarried once before he died. Her mother remarried twice, is now Mrs. George...
...sail on a beamy (11 ft.) Fiberglas hull, Chris-Craft's "sail yacht" is powered by a hefty 60-h.p. engine that gives it a cruising speed of six or seven knots. In cabins finished in maple paneling, it sleeps six comfortably (two in a bridal suite aft of the cockpit) and sports two heads, one with a shower. Price: $24,495.

Luciano is stabbed, staggers back to the bedroom, and dies deflowering his bride. As a commentary on the modern Spanish scene, The Wedding provides tourists with a useful tip: rural weddings can be as bloody as bullfights...
...serious music; almost all play the piano. Iran's Farah, the Ivory Coast's Marie-Thérèse Houphouet-Boigny and Monaco's Princess Grace all buy clothes from Dior, though Grace also fancies Balenciaga (who designed Belgian Queen Fabiola's mink-trimmed bridal gown), and in her Hollywood days was dressed by Oleg Cassini (now Jackie's couturier). Save for Fabiola, who had a miscarriage last summer but is reported pregnant again, all the reigning beauties are devoted mothers whose main occupational complaint is that their children have to spend too much...
...Vigo enshrouds the ship in myth. The fundamental mysteries of weather (deep, all enveloping fogs) and sex impinge on every moment. When Juliette deserts the ship, the captain, dives into the sea searching for a vision of her. The camera follows him underwater where he sees her in her bridal gown...
