Description
An unidentified bride and groom cut their three tiered wedding cake with a ceremonial sword, after their wedding in Japan. The groom, a lieutenant in dress uniform, is probably a member of the British Army, and the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK). In the background a bridesmaid holds a glass of champagne while she reads a letter. The bridesmaids' bouquets are lying on the table on either side of the ornate cake.
