• Zelda Fitzgerald’s wedding outfit was a grey-blue suit
with a matching hat trimmed with leather ribbons and buckles. She wore an
orchid corsage that had swansonia and small white flowers on it.
• Witnesses to the wedding was Ludlow Fowler, a friend from
Princeton who also served as best man; and Zelda’s sisters Marjorie Brinson and
Rosalind with her husband Newman Smith. Zelda’s other sister Clothilde and her
husband John Palmer were delayed and arrived ten minutes late.
• The Fitzgeralds had not arranged for music, a
photographer, or a reception. They only told their guests the day before where
the wedding was going to be.
• Scott was impatient and started the wedding before
Clothilde and her husband arrived despite Zelda and Rosalind’s protests.
Scott’s relationships with Zelda’s family, and especially Clothilde, never
recovered.
• Scott and Zelda left immediately from the wedding to their
room at the Biltmore. Zelda’s sisters had lunch together without her.
