DescriptionA wedding party stand on a wooden stage in front of a display of radios and signs that read, "KGGM" and "KOB" in an exhibit hall in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two children wearing sombreros kneel in the front of the group, while the adults stand in one long row and five men stand elevated, in the background, under a trellis with glittered hearts. The area is designed to look like a wedding chapel and there are nine women standing to the left and seven men standing on the far right. In the center of the group are two men and two women. Both women are holding bouquets of flowers. All the men except the one in the very center of the group and a man directly behind him, are wearing sombreros. Most of the men are wearing dark, textured pants with long-sleeved button-down shirts. The women are wearing Fiesta dresses. One woman holding a bouquet wears a white dress and the other wears a dark colored dress. Handwriting on the back reads, "Mexican Wedding, photo by Paul E. Woodings, my son".
