What a gorgeous girl!
I just love weddings where the bride doesn't weigh 250lbs.
(a.k.a. my dad's cousin's wedding... wasn't worth wasting film)
As for the folder... I've never used this one... though I have quite a few who are waiting for their turn to be used.
Is it a 6x9 or 6x4.5?

I used to have one of these although I dismantled it to make other camera parts. Looks like you might have some paralax issues

it's what you take if you get egg-bound ........ I thought you would have known that being a paramedic
but seriously, paralax error is where your view-finder framing is not in line with what the lens actually sees.
Here is the 6x9 folder I occasionally use
and here are a couple of pics taken with it

I think it might be more a case of 'bride running away from the nutter with the old camera' rather than parallax issues
BTW, is the geezer in the background wearing a pith helmet in deference to the camera's vintage? I'd love to go to a wedding where men wear pith helmets.

The geezer is my great uncle bill, he is a character to say the least, unfortunately it isnt a pith helmet (although that would be cool) just his sun hat....
I think it was more to do with excess Magners (see my other post) rather than Paralax error
the offending hat:

and I've got to say, your uncle bill has the greatest eyebrows amongst humankind. they are absolute treasures. I could only hope to have such a hirsute forehead in my autumn years.

Don't worry about that Leon...
I recently heard that when you grow older, the hair on your head starts receding inside only to come back out through your ears and nose
(OK... maybe not that cool but quite funny in a weird absurd way when you think about it)
