And the Bride Wore....: Story of the White Wedding (Coronet Books) ebook

I borrowed this from the library when I was planning my wedding - what traditions to leave out or keep. This book is pretty dated but as it covers history that's not hugely important. It does cover a lot of wedding traditions, from garments, to bouquets, sharing of food, first-night-together shenanigans and more, going back to Roman times. Writing style has an engaging tone, considering the book's age. If you are a history buff and you hate all the contemporary western wedding traditions and want to cut the sexist BS in your own nuptials, definitely read this book.

I used to take this book out of the library on a montly basis.
I couldn't put it down. It has invaluable information for history buffs. I am glad to see that used copies are available.
I have been looking for a copy for over 15 years.
