A Hilarious 20th Century Wedding Moment: A Comic Postcard Depicting an Annoyed Usher and the Bride's Mother This charming and comically amusing postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures a humorous moment from a wedding ceremony. The scene is set in a grand church, with a red carpet leading up to the altar, and the bride's mother, dressed in a pink gown, stands impatiently, her fur shawl draped over her shoulders. The usher, a plump and rather large man, is seen frowning and looking annoyed, as if he's been asked yet another question he doesn't want to answer. The usher, dressed in formal tails, is holding a cane and appears to be growing increasingly frustrated with the persistent questioning of the bridesmaid or wedding guest standing next to him. With a question mark floating above her head, she seems oblivious to the usher's annoyance and continues to pester him with yet another inquiry. This delightful postcard, reminiscent of the classic British humor of Donald McGill, brings a touch of light-heartedness and amusement to the otherwise formal and serious occasion of a wedding. The comic element adds a unique and memorable touch to the day, and the postcard serves as a reminder that even on the most special of occasions, there's always room for a little humor and fun.
