Mock Wedding

Image

A group of young adults and children are posing outdoors near the open porch of a house in a mock wedding ceremony. The groom, third from left, is portrayed by August Bernhagen. The bride and her attendant are at left near the porch; the best man is standing to the right of the groom. The officiant is holding a book and is wearing a cassock. Members of the congregation at right include Mae von der Sump, fifth from right. A note on the negative envelope states: "Mock Marriage at Uncle's."
