Berliners Bride Celebrate Chap Fallen Groom Jolly Portly Roller Roller Skating Skate Skates Skating Whilst Wobbly
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the joy and excitement of a roller-skate wedding in Berlin, Germany, around 1909. The newlywed couple, both dressed in their finest attire, gracefully glide on their roller skates, exuding happiness and bliss. The groom, with a proud smile on his face, steadily supports his bride, who holds onto his arm for balance. The bride's elegant white gown and veil contrast beautifully with the vibrant colors of their surroundings. However, not all guests were as skilled on the roller skates as the bride and groom. A portly lady, with a worried expression, wobbles precariously on one skate, while a chap, who has fallen to the ground, tries to regain his footing with a laugh. The historical context of this image adds to its charm, as roller skating was a popular pastime during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph is a testament to the jolly and carefree spirit of the Berliners, who celebrated special occasions with enthusiasm and a sense of fun. Despite the occasional mishap, the roller-skate wedding is a unique and memorable event that has stood the test of time. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of roller skating and the way people celebrated weddings over a century ago. With its lively energy and infectious joy, it is a reminder of the enduring appeal of roller skating and the importance of finding joy and laughter in everyday life.
