In the novel, July's wedding is in itself a deception, done out of necessity and because of a foolish accident rather than love. This is symbolized by the dime store wedding ring; July used the ring to try to deceive a doctor about her marital status, and now she is using the ring, a cheap imitation of the real thing, for her quickie wedding, also a cheap imitation of the real thing.
