Victorian Weddings
Overview
Victorian weddings were traditionally guided by the religious customs of the bride's church, which also selected a clergyman to officiate the ceremony.
Wedding Party
Typically, the bride had two bridesmaids, and the groom had two groomsmen, though this number could be increased based on preference.
The Ceremony
A classic Victorian wedding was usually held at noon in a church. The bride, escorted by her father, uncle, or another family member who would "give her away," entered first. The groom followed, accompanied by his mother or a close female relative. The bridesmaids and groomsmen walked arm in arm behind them, followed by the couple's immediate family. At the altar, the bride and groom stood at the forefront, with family gathered nearby.
The groom was tasked with providing the wedding ring, placing it on the bride's left hand, on the third finger from the thumb, at the designated moment in the ceremony.
After the Ceremony
A common post-ceremony question was whether the groom should kiss the bride. Although traditionally seen as improper, the practice became more common. After the ceremony, friends and family offered their congratulations. Notably, Queen Victoria was kissed by the Duke of Sussex, but not by Prince Albert.
Reception
The newlyweds led the way back to the bride's home, where they stood together to welcome guests at the reception. The guests, guided by the groomsmen, offered their congratulations. The event typically concluded with a breakfast or lunch.
