If its from before 1920, her wearing brown really isn't that strange. Brides just used to wear the nicest dress they already owned, and white was a very impractical color to make a gown of. White wedding gowns only became a tradition in the late 1800s among the richer families as a symbol they could afford a gown that could only be worn once.

Contrary to popular belief, the Great Depression wasn't actually all that great.

Shows what I know, I thought it was only in America. In retrospect I could see how it might affect international shipping and trading.

I thought the Depression was a major factor in how the Nazi party and Hitler came to power in Germany.

Yes there is a story of a guy who got his wages in a wheelbarrow, someone stole the wheelbarrow and left the money laying in the street it was that worthless. Children used to play with it.

I remember a picture of kids using bundles of money as building blocks.
