A mix of marriage lore and practical advice for today's bride,
with such anecdotal entries as that regarding the wedding
invitation: "In olden days of the English countryside, before the
ability to read became widespread, invitations were shouted by
'bidders'...old men hired to announce the details of a wedding."
We also learn that "From the Middle Ages to the present, a
marriage was not considered official unless witnessed by two
people...(which) resulted from the practice of women being
unwillingly married off by their fathers." Other subjects covered
include The Bridesmaids Tea, The Wedding Party, The Wedding
Reception, The Grooms Raiment, The Horse Drawn Carriage and
Wedding Readings.
