I'd like a translation of the text. I'm most interested in figuring out who the people are. The watermark says "LOMZA" faintly. Looks like a studio photo.

I found this in my grandmother's box of photos. My Great Grandmother emigrated to the US in 1921, but her husband was here in 1912, so that is probably not them, since the photo looks like the 1920s.

Any names would be helpful! Thanks!

Here's my attempt. It looks something this female is sending this to her aunt, possible Freitel GERBER?
The crossed through line, looks like it says with her husband.

Last line:
Sheitul from Kotzka Mendil SALAMON.

As I said, it is an attempt and could be wrong.

Thanks. My Great Grandmother was Freida Gerber, so this makes sense.

For eternal memory I send my picture of me and my groom to my dear aunt Freytke Gerber.
Respectfully,
