Description

The bride, groom and another man and woman are shown standing on the alter steps in the front of a church sanctuary. Immediately behind the individuals may be seen an archway decorated with a large paper bell, white ribbons and bows. A large, open book depicting the Holy Bible is also partially visible. The German words on the "bible" can be translated as "Holy Scriptures." A small, one manual harmonium with an ornate wooden case and vases of flowers are also visible. A sign board with hymn numbers may be seen on the wall above the harmonium.
