Bride Carries Stair Case Stairs Threshold
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of transition and new beginnings as a man carries his bride over the threshold of their new home in 1908. The black-and-white photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an intricately carved wooden staircase leading up to the entrance, adorned with ornate railings and a garland of flowers. The couple, dressed in their finest attire, exude a sense of joy and excitement as they embark on their new life together. The custom of carrying the bride over the threshold dates back to ancient times, symbolizing the passage from the bride's old life to her new one with her husband. The act of crossing the threshold is believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. This historical tradition continues to be celebrated in many cultures around the world, making this image a poignant reminder of the enduring significance of marriage and the beginning of a new chapter in life. The photograph's grainy texture and subtle tonal variations add to its timeless charm, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and romance. The couple's connection is palpable, their gazes locked as they ascend the stairs, lost in their own world of love and anticipation. This image is a beautiful testament to the power of love and the enduring customs that celebrate it.
