They look so happy

Yes, they do; not! The groom looks to be wearing an Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon on his uniform. The bride seems to be wearing black as a wedding dress as well. I assume he has been allowed wedding leave after a long period at the front and will most likely be returning shortly after their nuptials.
Jvpi, are the happy couple identified on the back of the picture?
Best regards,
John

John, at that time it was normal and traditional for the bride to wear a black wedding dress (with a white veil). No mourning symbol associated whatsoever. Now, you are probably right when suggesting the circumstances of their wedding were not the happiest ones...
