What a gorgeous girl!

I just love weddings where the bride doesn't weigh 250lbs.  :D
(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 ;D

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  ;D

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.... ;D 

I think it was more to do with excess Magners (see my other post) rather than Paralax error  :D :D :D

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  :P

(OK... maybe not that cool but quite funny in a weird absurd way when you think about it)
