To Those About To Marry
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and satirical postcard from the early 20th century that captures the essence of wedding day jitters. This colorful lithograph, created by an English School artist, showcases a comical scene filled with bouquets, good luck charms, and mischievous priests. In this hilarious cartoon-like image, we see a nervous groom standing at the altar as he prepares to exchange vows with his bride. However, instead of traditional wedding rituals, this couple finds themselves in absurd situations. The groom has a ring through his nose while priests playfully throw bouquets at him. A black cat drags ropes attached to the groom's morning suit as veils and flower arrangements decorate the church altars. The artwork cleverly combines elements of decorative arts and religious symbolism to create an amusing commentary on marriage traditions. It pokes fun at superstitions like lucky horseshoes while highlighting the role of clergy in weddings. With its vibrant colors and witty captions scattered throughout the print, "To Those About To Marry" offers viewers a lighthearted perspective on one of life's most significant moments. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously during such joyous occasions but rather embrace laughter and absurdity along our journey into matrimony.
