A Hilarious 20th Century Wedding Moment: Bride and Groom Take Flight! This charming comic postcard captures the playful spirit of a bygone era, as the newlywed couple, adorned in their finest wedding attire, exit the church doors. The bride, a pretty young woman in a yellow dress and red flowers in her hand, beams with joy and excitement, while her groom, a dashing airman with a moustache and uniform, salutes the crowd with a gleaming helicopter in the background. But there's more to this scene than meets the eye. The double entendre in the title, "Bride and Groom Copped a Helicopter," adds a delightful layer of humor and wit to the image. The phrase "copped a helicopter" can be interpreted in two ways: one, that the couple has successfully eloped or escaped, and two, that the groom has made a bold and romantic gesture by whisking his bride away in a helicopter. The guests, dressed in their Sunday best, look on with amusement and approval, adding to the festive atmosphere of the scene. This lighthearted and fun postcard is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the joy of a new marriage. This comic postcard is a wonderful reminder of the quirky and humorous aspects of British culture in the 20th century, and a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or wedding memorabilia.
