Rather than the ceremony itself, this glass negative records guests arriving for the Harriman-Gerry wedding. The Harriman family was prominent in American business through the railroad fortunes of Edward H. Harriman, so a society wedding drew press attention. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied images like this to newspapers in the early 1900s. The title comes from the agency's caption data, which has not been independently verified, so the exact date and details are worth checking.
