Printed on back: Spreewald auf de Fahrt von der Kirche nach dem Hochzeitshaus wird das Weiterkommen gehindert durch uber das Wasser gepoannte Leinen, welche mit buten Tuchern behagen sind. Erst wenn de Brautigam mit einigen Geldstuckchen den Zoll bezahlt hat darf der Zug passiren"On the ride back from the church the wedding party is stopped by people holding a tight rope festooned with colored clothes. Only after the bride groom has paid a fee is the bridal party allowed to pass. Spreewald is in Lower Sorbian about 100 km south east of Berlin. The river Spree has been branched to make more than 200 canals. | |

The Civil Marriage | |
 |
|
| Collection of Maggie Land Blanck
I believe that this image represents another civil marriage. Although this time the participants are dressed in typical peasant garb instead of the "city clothes" of the "civil marriage" above. The sign over the door says "civil stand". | |
