Thanks, Angelica and Kaye! I have another similar photo with a large group of kids from the same place, but it's not in as good a shape as this one. I'm not sure I've seen any other examples of mock weddings with children rather than adults.

This is remarkable, the children, but also the setting...the old school room, with its high ceilings, beautiful woodwork, the posters which date the scene), etc..

Thanks! I was lucky to find it at an antique co-op. I bought a similar photo from a different year, too, but it's not in as good a shape as this one.
