Titled with the names of a groom, William Weightman 3d, and his bride, this glass negative is one of the wedding pictures in the George Grantham Bain Collection. The record gives no date and marks the identification as unverified, so the names are best treated as a starting point for research. The "3d" indicates he was the third person of that name in his family, a naming habit common among established American families of the period. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, made pictures like this one, and its glass plates were a standard format for press work of that era.
