A Georgia Wedding (1909)
A colored widow "lady" is visited by a very stout colored man, who asks her to forsake widowhood and share his lot. She calls her two pickaninnies from the house and asks if they will accept the gentleman for a father. After receiving a goodly supply of candy and oranges the kids give their consent and preparations for the wedding are made. The widow thinks her cabin is not good enough for the grand affair, so the hubby-to-be suggests his own, and on the eventful day we find coons of all sized and colors hanging about waiting for the bridal party. The procession soon appears. The bride, a tall, angular woman, cannot enter the low doorway of her prospective husband's cabin, as the same has been fitted for the short, stubby owner. It is growing late and they are at a loss what to do, and do not want to postpone the ceremony. Massa and missy appear at this critical moment and suggest that the ceremony take place on the lawn. The table is prepared, the happy couple are soon made one and the festivities begin. When the ceremony is taking place the groom sends a couple of men to cut away the door so that the bride can enter. Dancing and singing continue well into the night, the bride and groom are escorted to their cabin while the guests depart to their own homes.
