The only thing I can decipher is the date.  1925.  Hopefully someone can translate.

The groom wears a long coat and a top hat is nearby.  He also has a sprig of something on his lapel.  The bride wears a medium length gown, with a lovely long veil that is secured with a dark headband.   She carries a large bouquet.

Thank you for stopping by.

Update from Susanna Rosalie:
This is German:
Zum freundlichen Andenken an Deinen Cousin Ernst & Frau Weihnachten 1925
In kind memory of your cousin Ernst & wife Christmas 1925

The name of the town is Weißenfels / Weissenfels. It is located in the county of Saxony-Anhalt on the river Saale. According to newspaper articles from 2002 and 2012 (Mitteldeutsche Zeitung) the photographer Hugo Kind opened his studio in 1920. He was well known in town. The studio was also referred to as 'Foto-Kind', and it is still in business under this name up to today.

    Sadly, we don't have a last name. Any chance there could be some related photos from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota?
