Description

Original caption: The vows are spoken--Before a priest in All Saints Anfeld Catholic Church in Liverpool, English Wren Josephine Mary Kennelly, 19, of Liverpool becomes the bride of Coast Guardsman Dominick Andreacci, 29, Fireman First Class, of Brooklyn, NY. They met casually. A courtship developed. They surmounted the difficulties of gaining all required permissions and went ahead. This "British-American Union" is typical of the thousands of war marriages that help knit closer the relations of the allied nations.
