YE OLDE PING!

Interesting.

Don’t knock Renaissance Festival folks. My wife and I also held a period wedding, early southern redneck - bbq and dancing! (funny, I don’t feel redneck, but going down the checklist, I do seem to fill in a lot of X’s. Guess there is something to be said to being married early in life - the longer you wait, the greater the cost from what I’ve witnessed.)

Does their landlord get to perform the droit du seigneur?

[martin_fierro]

Verily, thou couldst have been a maiden in waiting therein.

Zounds!

[Teflonic]

What a lucky couple!

[Dumpster Baby]

I wonder if the realism extended to cooties and unwashed pits.

[Gay State Conservative]

the bride even promised to be "bonny and buxom in bed",a vow from a 14th century service.

Aye,my young lass! You wilst wear yonder chastity belt while I sally forth to labor at the insurance agency,for I will not have you being buxom in bed with any of the local knaves!

[ishabibble]

I just love this wedding! After a few episodes of Bridezillas you would too!

[Ramius]

Wicked cool suit of armor.

I’m sure this has been done in the last 50 years.

We’ve known of Civil War weddings, and I personally witnessed at my 1st reenactment event of a RevWar battle - 1st thing we walked into, a marriage of a Redcoat and his camp-follower lady.

Have you seen this?

well, judging by the picture, she DEFINATELY has the buxom part down. Thems some bodacious tatas.

Mr Hammerton-Fraser, 40, went out with his squire and ring bearer

...but he was drunk at the time, plus it was like years ago.

I’m sorry, but that just kicks ass.

[ZULU]

Looks like beauty and the beast!

[Steelerfan]

Very cool.

[CatoRenasci]

Charming.

Some 30 years ago and more I was moderately active in the Society for Creative Anachronism in California, and it was great fun - though I think many people took it a bit too seriously, rather like this wedding, which is, after all, rather over the top... I was even a groomsman at two SCA Weddings in full regalia -- in both cases the couple was able to persuade the priest to do a Latin Mass in full kit.
