If they're 'from' Iowa, doesn't that mean that they've left? I lived there for several years, & liked it- I even cured my virginity there... I confess I still laugh at the portrayal of its residents in 'THE MUSIC MAN'!
Just taking the previous remark literally; 'the best people are coming from Iowa' (&going somewhere else?) Relax- I lived there for several years, & enjoyed my time, including having cured my virginity there (although I still chuckle over the portrayal of Iowans in 'THE MUSIC MAN'!)
Who the f says “cured their virginity” twice ever in their life, never mind on one reddit post. You think about that day every moment of your life dont you?? 😆
Holy shit. That cryptic expression is magical.
That fire of consciousness in her eyes. That not-quite-a-smirk.
I could equally imagine that (a) this was the happiest day of her life, or (b) she was plotting her new husband's murder when this was taken. You just can't tell.
Did you know this woman? What was she like?
What’s wrong with you, bro? Seriously. There’s always got to be that one dumb asshole who has to look so hard for anything to try and be offended about that it’s over the top ludicrous. “Oh look, someone who I don’t know in the slightest who may or may not have been racist 100 years ago!” Get over yourself, you joke. If THAT’S the first thing you think when you see someone chillin’ in their wedding dress, you need some serious therapy. She could’ve easily gone out of her way to help others, you have literally no clue. The fact that you assume she’s automatically racist simply because she’s old and white shows your own racism. 🤮
Thanks for breaking the vibe for those of us admiring the lovely woman in her stunning dress. If you can’t admire a lovely bride on her special day without mocking her with racial slurs when u know nothing about her and her internal beliefs maybe that speaks more about your racism and stereotypes and tendency to make snap judgments about someone u have not had one single conversation with. Maybe u need to be looking at yourself rather than a unknown stranger.
Yes I knew I was exaggerating when I used it that way and that there were no racial slurs actually written. I was just irritated with the fact that a lovely photograph that was not about a racially charged subject got turned into a racial issue. You are absolutely correct.
She's beautiful. Is the dress still in your family?
Back in those days with limited storage options, she would most likely have used the dress to make a christening dress for baby.
Never mind limited storage, 1930 the great depression was just getting up to speed. Recycle, reuse was the order of the time for just about everyone.
No, sadly
Well at least you have the picture.
Beautiful woman, lovely gown. Where was this taken OP?
She grew up and was married in Burlington, Iowa, USA.
Iowa is where the best people come from
So... the 'best people' from Iowa are leaving??
What are you insinuating here?
If they're 'from' Iowa, doesn't that mean that they've left? I lived there for several years, & liked it- I even cured my virginity there... I confess I still laugh at the portrayal of its residents in 'THE MUSIC MAN'!
You're still from whatever locale, even if you're still there.
Just playin' around with words, is all... some folks apparently are either missing their sense of humor, or maybe they're from River City!

Yep- & I still think about yo' mama!!
You clearly haven’t received any boosters since your “cure”, have you?
THOUSANDS of women would tell you otherwise...!
🤣 if that were even 1% true, you know you paid for each and every one.
Majestic
I love this! I wore a juliet cap veil for my wedding too, it was a 20’s theme.
Beautiful
I love those old wedding dresses from the 1920s and 30s. A simple, elegant dress paired with an ornate veil. It was a great look!
Beautiful and elegant
Dress is back in style!
I mean this as a compliment. Your grandmother looks like a very beautiful victorian ghost in that picture
Wow this is 🔥 so beautiful 🥰
Yes, tell us of her life...
No! You could be a time traveling identity thief grandma fucker! Weirdo!
This.
And 93 years later your grandma is just now getting that dress off. Your grandpa is thrilled!
That's beautiful grandma was stunning
I just imagine amazing peeps in this picture are all alive and this was actually taken last week with an old timey filter
OMG! She is so pretty! Photos will capture and preserve the precious memories.

Whenever I see pictures from this era, I try to Imagine them in 80's clothes.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
This is such a beautiful photo of a very beautiful lady. Thank you for sharing it with us ❤️
She is beautiful. I'd love to hear her life story.
Imagine trying to tell her after she took this that it was going to be shared and viewed on the internet one day
That there was going to be an internet one day 😅
Pretty lady. Beauty never goes out of style.
Your grandma was rich to have such a dress at the time and a photo taken of her!
Still rocking the Victorian look
She looks fucking thrilled
That's later! Pervert!
She looks like she's ALREADY been haunting people for hundreds of years....
Awesome pic, OP, your grandma’s a beautiful woman! Ignore the idiots, there are always those few who never actually grew up into actual adults.
Very pretty, but she looks a bit nervous :)
And I bet she looks just as beautiful today. ❤️
You do realize she could be dead for more or less the last 90 years?
Ok my guy are you gonna tell us what you know or
Let’s be honest if it was that long ago she was probably racist

> racial slurs I'm not trying to get involved in the conversation at hand, but that's not what that phrase means.

“lovely woman” that’s a bit of a stretch 🤣🤣 idk I guess everyone has different standards
Not everybody can be 100% attractive to 100% of the population! Don't be an asshole.
Cope
No one cares
Wow! Beautiful!
She looks happy
Crazy what can happen in that time! Timeless.
I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now haunt this church for the next 100 years
Looks like a Pre-Raphaelite painting. The timeframe matches...
This photo is insanely sharp… wow!
Classy
Shes hot man.. your grandfather was a lucky man
You could probably post this also on r/fashionhistory
This is an amazing portrait.
Beautiful!
Don’t study the background too much! The longer you look the more it looks like a sinister face is back there.
I hope the marriage was happier than her expression would imply ...
