Neat photos!

Couvi,

the bloke with the black frock and the long arm, could he be the brides father and the whole thing be a shotgun wedding?

Cheers

You will note for the record that the groom is an officer!

I wonder what the back story is?

This might have actually been part of a lost military tradition. Consider:

Description: Wedding of Lt. A. W. Pribnow and Betty Fry at Fort Lewis. Mock wedding on mule back. The color guard and buglers march ahead of the wedding couple that ride in chairs strapped to either side of a mule's back. The Officers Club can be seen in the background. Reviving an old artillery custom, the newly married couple is paraded on the battalion's equipment. The equipment is usually a gun carriage, but in the case of the 98th Field Artillery (Pack) Battalion, the parade equipment is a mule. (not the same event as D10861 image A)

Pat,

This is a hundred percent more than we knew before.

Thanks,
