Abstract
In 1917, Dr Mary Poonen married the lawyer K. K. Lukose in their families’ village of Puthappalli near Kottayam. On 7 June, they held a reception at the Victoria Jubilee Town Hall in Trivandrum. Wine was served to the guests, a toast was proposed by the chief secretary of the Travancore government and the Maharaja lent a carriage to take the couple to the hall. The bride, who ceremonially cut a three-tier cake, wore a wedding dress ‘with a sari draped over it’.1
