Title

Puerto Rican Wedding, New York, NY, 1985

Description

Yvette and Alfred will cut into an elaborate "bridge cake." It includes figures of the bridal party standing on stairs, which span a lake, and a fountain, recycling champagne. Designer cakes are popular among Latinos and Italians in New York City.

Katrina Thomas's notes: A great many Puerto Ricans emigrated from the Commonwealth in the 1940's and 1950's to New York City where their culture is convenient to me because they live in East Harlem, known as El Barrio, close to my own apartment in Manhattan. Most of them are Catholics and keep no special customs. If bridal portraits are not taken in a picture studio, the newlyweds like to pose in the country setting of Central Park, which is not only handy but available at no cost, if the weather obliges.
