Here we have a cabinet card of a very stylish and attractive young married couple from Oelwein, Iowa taken in the 1890's. Look at the puffy sleeves on the shoulders of the bride's dress and the high neckline - this was the style in the 1890's. Also note her very tiny waist with the matching bow. What I think is interesting is that her corsage is a dark color, in the picture it looks black, but probably was green foliage and I can't make out the type of flower. The groom is quite spiffy in his suit and is sporting quite the handlebar mustache. He is not wearing a wedding ring and I can't tell for sure if his bride is wearing one. Unfortunately, there is nothing to identify this charming couple.
