Ok Redditors, you wonderful people! This is a photo of my great grandparents wedding in El Salvador in 1905. Why is the one woman’s face cut out? Can’t wait to hear your answers! (OC)
No it's a joke but fun fact: lower class often married in black or attended weddings in black. When you can just afford one good dress, you went for black so you could use it on funerals and for church too
Cut from behind... Later on an office, this photo did hide a camera for spying. Now it can have been during cold war, or later on when grand kid was cheating with secretary...
Check out the woman on the far right at the front. She hexed her and from that day forward the other woman was forced to walk around with her head in a basket
this photograph was kept in a pocket bible, which was kept in the breast pocket of someones jacket. This someone was in the military during World War II. The man was shot in the chest, but the bible and photograph stopped the bullet - through the power of love, or something.
She’s the bridesmaid that professed her love for the groom right before the wedding. I cut mine out of my pictures entirely by dismissing her after the wedding before pictures were taken but kept her in the wedding because I’m a petty bitch like that.
Awwww that makes me sad 😞.. so she literally got cut out of the picture and their lives ! So something happened and they had to flee to the United States ! It’s all so clear now!
I actually think it was my bis-abuela.. my great great grandmother , and she was a lovely woman from what I heard , which makes this all the more interesting 🤨
Im married to a Latin. It’s because your great grandmother did not like the lady. She probably hit on your great grandfather. We have a number of pix my wife’s mother did the same for that reason.
In America at that time, a woman's name could be stricken from the family Bible if she left her husband (a man's if he was a ne'er-do-well) Do you suppose that's could be what happened? What did she do (or what did her family think she'd done) to have her face removed from the photo? So interesting!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. She was obviously smiling! Why even the woman on the far right was staring at her in disbelief! How dare she smile in a wedding photo! LOL 😅
Because they were classist(closet racist). El Salvador like the rest of Latin America is no different when it comes to denying their native heritage. Everyone is “mostly Spanish” according to them.
She was trying to cheat and appear twice in this photo. That's also her between the 2 ladies behind the bride and groom. They made her pick which one to keep. She kept the one with her good side.
She lives in someone's locket now.
Just a face .. no hair .. yikes! 😂
She was unfriended.
That’s how they did it back then! I am literally and figuratively cutting you out ! 😃
The photo is actually 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide. They put a hole there so people could pretend they went to the wedding.
Oh like when you go to the county fair ! Excellent!
Bride found out she was the mistress.
Oh that’s terrible! 😄😄🤣
agreed! lol
Catholic Ireland used to do this is the case of a suicide.
accurate, but not the funny answer i was expecting to find with the most upvotes :/
Wow!
First I heard about it and I'm living here all my life
Its not cut out, it got hit by a stray bullet.
Bingo!
Yikes! Guess the arroz con pollo wasn’t any good! 😄🤣🙃
She's wearing black dress???🥴
No it's a joke but fun fact: lower class often married in black or attended weddings in black. When you can just afford one good dress, you went for black so you could use it on funerals and for church too
Ohhhhhhh, was she making a statement? Hmmmm .. 😃
Interesting. Was she a widow?
Ex girlfriend or mother in law.
[удалено]
Perhaps! 😄😄
She invented glitter and that is an unforgivable crime against humanity
Too funny!
She was grandpas highschool sweetheart and grandma wasn’t gonna let that ho ruin her special day.
She begrudgingly invited her and then took care of her! 😂
We don't talk about Bruno...
Shhhhhhh
Someone really didn’t like her. I’d guess the bride or the bride’s mother had a grudge. Most other people would have just put the photo away.
I wish I had found this when my grandmother was still here! I would have totally asked! 😄
Damn thats so cool :0
It’s amazing! I have a couple more of that day. They are cherished! 🌸😃
She is the only one with a real face. All the other people are wearing masks.
Well then! Sounds like a twilight zone episode in the making ! 😄
A kid making a funny face ruining the pic
Oh then I know where my son got it from! Must be a relative! 😄
She was out-shining the bride… couldn’t have that
Oh absolutely not! The nerve of some people! 😄
Abuela was pissed
No messing with an abuelita!
She’s a no good recipe stealing bitch!
Explains a lot! 😃
CAROLINE! How could she?
Cut from behind... Later on an office, this photo did hide a camera for spying. Now it can have been during cold war, or later on when grand kid was cheating with secretary...
Interesting 🤔😄
For a Lockett?
It may have been the only photo of her LOL !
Bullet hole caused by a Salvadoran drive by shooting.
It’s a tough place now, maybe so back then too!
Check out the woman on the far right at the front. She hexed her and from that day forward the other woman was forced to walk around with her head in a basket
That’s some crazy powers! The rest must have tread lightly around her! 🙃
this photograph was kept in a pocket bible, which was kept in the breast pocket of someones jacket. This someone was in the military during World War II. The man was shot in the chest, but the bible and photograph stopped the bullet - through the power of love, or something.
Wow! That man was so lucky! I hope he went on to have a great life!
Lesbian or working
🙃
Depending on the size, could have been put into a locket.
Very true 😄
It was placed in a necklace locket. Those were popular back then.
So they had to ruin a wedding photo for it. I find it strange 🙃
She’s the only woman with a different hair style in the photo. That’s unacceptable!!
Always one in the crowd! 🤣
Why is she only one in black? Probably one of the elderly? Actually, they all look young
Wish I knew 🤔
Named the baby she had 9 months later after the groom.
Well he would have had an awesome name then! 😃🥰
I guess this is how you got head in the olden days.
Literally! 😃
The lady front right knows...
Laser beams being shot in her direction 🤣
Would that be the mother-in-law who insisted on going along on the honeymoon?
Maybe! They brought her with when they came to the United States in 1924! 🤣
Really, really big thumb tacks!
Like yuge!
Mother in law
She’s the bridesmaid that professed her love for the groom right before the wedding. I cut mine out of my pictures entirely by dismissing her after the wedding before pictures were taken but kept her in the wedding because I’m a petty bitch like that.
Someone wanted better look with magnifier.. and sun behind his back
Kid cut it out and put his tongue in the hole to entertain friends—it’s what they did before TikTok.
So circa 1906? 😃
She slept with everyone in the photo with a moustache
Oh that brazen woman! 🤣
There are some glorious moustaches in this photo!
It's actually wall paper with a glory hole cut out
Ewwwwww
Peek hole.
That’s too funny! 😃
She was the one who said the marriage wouldn’t last
Lol! Maybe that’s why they came to the US.. couldn’t stand the harpie! 😃
She was the main course at the reception.....
Was Hannibal Lechter the caterer? 😂🤣
[удалено]
One is just the bride and groom and the other is a group walking. All the ladies have parasols. It is amazing!
your step grandmother
Awwwww! Wish I could have met her! They must have left her behind when they came to California in 1924! 😄
Wicked stepmother
Oooooo! Never knew that! Making me ask more questions! 🤔😄
Somebody didn't like her?
I wish I knew 🤔
Gatecrasher!
The nerve of some people’ 🤣
Its,the other woman
She fcuked the groom
Awwww that makes me sad 😞.. so she literally got cut out of the picture and their lives ! So something happened and they had to flee to the United States ! It’s all so clear now!
Husband stealer?
Maybe?
Before skin care products, blackheads would occasionally get waaaay out of control, as appears to have happened here.
That’s taking “don’t take my picture” to the extreme ! 😄
Lesbian?
She was sleeping with the groom.
Ewwwwww
She did a whacky face in a supposedly serious photo
So that’s where my son gets it from! 🙃
She didn't return a bowl a dish came with
So she is a swiper! 😂
My grandma used to do this if a divorce took place but she liked the picture otherwise
It’s strange that this picture is 117 years old.. wonder when she got cut out ?
That was Aunt Betty. She didn't bring anything to the reception so they used her to mark where the thumbtack goes.
She was such a moocher ! I am not surprised !
She married a muggle.
Who married a muggle?
she's wearing black
I actually think it was my bis-abuela.. my great great grandmother , and she was a lovely woman from what I heard , which makes this all the more interesting 🤨
Bullet hole from the rear of the photo
Hmmmm. Curiouser and curiousier
Heartless.
And faceless
Horrible mother-in-law.
But they brought her with them when they came to the states… hmmmm 😃
Lol .. maybe!
Because Dennis is a bastard man
Damn him!
I’m waiting for the cursed comment here.
Like?
Opposite view - Maybe someone cut out her face and put it in a locket.
But a wedding photo ? They had no other options? They were not poor by any means 🤨
Im married to a Latin. It’s because your great grandmother did not like the lady. She probably hit on your great grandfather. We have a number of pix my wife’s mother did the same for that reason.
Since she is next to the bride. Wouldn’t you think it is her mother ? Maybe it’s the locket answer , but it’s a wedding photo .. I am truly 🤔
MS 13 was there and shot the picture in a drive by.
They sure have been around a long time ! 🤣
JustNoMIL
😞
It's the Tia chambrosa, too much bull* from her 😆
😃😄😂
This was the original swipe left
👍👍
The woman on the far right in the first row knows
(Whispers) (I know what you did)
Old school unfriend.
Like for sure!
George Costanza was her date and blurted out "YOU SLEPT WITH THE GROOM!?!"
No soup for you!
They found out that the women was pregnant and had it at the wedding and so they cut out her face because it ruined their day
Well that was certainly rude of her! 😄
[удалено]
Because I love them and they make me smile 😊 where should it have been posted?
She married a muggleborn
I am guessing that is bad?
Looks like someone had the picture on their person and got shot
Like Teddy Roosevelt when he got shot but had a 50 page speech in this jacket and the bullet hit that and saved his life! Awesome!
We don’t talk about aunt Margo…No, No.
It’s your great grandpa’s side piece. She crashed the party.
It isn’t some people looked really weird back then.
Either someone cut out the face to use in a locket or the picture owner had a falling out with her.
Its the mother in law. If you have one yourself you’ll understand.
I did have one. She was awesome! I miss her to this day.
In America at that time, a woman's name could be stricken from the family Bible if she left her husband (a man's if he was a ne'er-do-well) Do you suppose that's could be what happened? What did she do (or what did her family think she'd done) to have her face removed from the photo? So interesting!
Guess the bride couldnt stand the mother in law, and removed her from the picture.
She is the real scarlet witch. Back then the technology wasn't sufficient to catch of her power. But they do now.
That is awesome! 😃
She knows what she did…
It looks like a child to me.
It's one of those books you use your fingers to give the characters faces
She new the location of old zealand
Bitch wore black to her brother’s wedding 🤣
That bitch had it coming thats why
Can We get the answer now? 😊
This is the first time I have seen salvadoreños on reddit
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. She was obviously smiling! Why even the woman on the far right was staring at her in disbelief! How dare she smile in a wedding photo! LOL 😅
Cheeky weren’t she! 😂😂
I thought this was one of those “ you have angered comrade Stalin, so you get photoshopped out” moments
Didn't see Ll comments cuz app won't load well, pardon possible similar post:
This was in a history classroom in America and that’s a bullet hole
She went off and married a mudblood
Because they were classist(closet racist). El Salvador like the rest of Latin America is no different when it comes to denying their native heritage. Everyone is “mostly Spanish” according to them.
Bullet hole?
She was trying to cheat and appear twice in this photo. That's also her between the 2 ladies behind the bride and groom. They made her pick which one to keep. She kept the one with her good side.
We don't talk about Bruno...
She did a bad bad thing, Chris Isaak said so.
Nicolas Cage got to her
No one wanted her on their ofrenda so she gets forgotten in the afterlife.

Witch!!!
She fucked ur great grandad and granny found out
For a locket necklace ☺️
It was ET
