EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1916, transports us back in time to a traditional wedding celebration in Thessaloniki, Greece, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika. The setting is the picturesque Tin Village, a historic neighborhood renowned for its unique architecture, characterized by corrugated iron houses. The bride and groom, radiantly dressed in their wedding attire, are surrounded by their joyful family members and relatives. The bride's elegant white gown, adorned with intricate lace and beading, contrasts beautifully with the rustic backdrop of the tin houses. The groom, in his formal suit, beams with pride as he holds his new wife's hand. The wedding party is in full swing, with musicians, including a fiddler, playing lively tunes to entertain the guests. The procession of family members and friends, dressed in their Sunday best, adds to the festive atmosphere. The women wear colorful dresses and headscarves, while the men don suits and hats. The Tin Village wedding was a cherished tradition in Thessaloniki, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the city. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and joy of a traditional Greek wedding celebration.
