A Hilarious Send-Off! - Bride and Groom Leaving Church, Early 20th Century This delightful comic postcard from the early 20th century captures the playful and humorous side of a wedding day. The scene shows the newlywed couple, the bride in an unflattering frumpy dress and a veil that's seen better days, and the groom in a top hat and tails, stepping out of a quaint church door. The bride, looking less than thrilled, is being pulled along by her husband, who seems to be enjoying the moment a little too much. The humor in this postcard comes from the exaggerated expressions and body language of the couple, as well as the curious onlookers. A group of guests, some with comically oversized hats, are peering out of the church windows, while others are gathered at the door, looking surprised or amused. One elderly gentleman, wearing a monocle and holding a flower, appears particularly delighted by the spectacle. This postcard is a charming reminder of the lighter side of weddings and the fun that can be had on such a special day. The use of exaggerated caricatures and humorous details adds to the overall joy and merriment, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or wedding memorabilia.
