Things I am curious about with respect to [[medieval]] [[wedding]]s
* What are the wedding [[colour]]s in different cultures? [[red]]? [[white]]? [[black]]?
* Who ran the ceremony? The [[priest]]? The groom? The father of the bride? The [[lord]] of the groom?
* Was the lord of the couple actually invited? Who else was invited?
* Did everyone give gifts?
* What differences were there between weddings at the various levels of society, e.g. [[peasant]] wedding, [[middle-class]] wedding, wedding of [[nobility]]?
* Was there a separation between ceremony and [[feast]] or were they one and the same?

I realise that this differed over cultures but I imagine that there will be various elements that are not quite maintained today, or are still used but had a different importance/[[symbol]]ism in [[period]].
