(This bridesmaid also was named "Irene." Something about her expression here reminds me of Lady Gaga.)

Nativity BVM Church, Marquette Park, Chicago, Illinois, about 1957 or 1958. It's nice to see the flower girl dressed as a bridesmaid. I dislike the custom of styling a flower girl as a miniature bride.
