Today is the 5th anniversary of my own wedding - so I thought this would be a fitting upload. This is a bride and groom from sometime in the late 19th century (despite the lack of puffy sleeves on the woman's dress). The name is written on the back - unfortunately I have not been able to get any more biographical details on them (and the church records for Norrköping are enormous - if they even lived there, and not some village outside and they went into town to have their picture taken). And yes in the 19th century, in Sweden, it was quite normal to get married in black - the dress was then worn to church and when you otherwise needed to dress up.

Friends? Family? Colleagues? I have no idea, but it a rather informal and sweet shot of three adult men (which is more common perhaps to see in photos of women from this time).
