...legal in Montreal at a Unitarian ceremony attended only by eleven of their dearest employees. It was a hush-hush, rush-rush affair, for which they secretly flew up from Toronto-where Dick is doing Hamlet-in a chartered Viscount. By 2:20 that afternoon, here came the bride, all dressed in yellow chiffon, topped by a nuptial hairdo that featured a 34-in., hyacinth-entwined coil of hair. Then, slipping a circlet of diamonds on Liz's finger, he she wed. That night, said Liz, "we sat and talked and giggled and cried until 7 in the morning...
