Throughout history and across the world royal weddings have been an amplification of the marriage traditions of their time and culture. But the exulted positions of the bride and groom also meant important differences like coronations, treaties, proxy weddings and literal children walking down the aisle. Let’s explore the evolution of the royal wedding in Europe from the simple church blessing of the middle ages where bride and groom might be laying eyes on each other for the first time to the love matches of today rung in with celebrity packed cathedrals, designer gowns, decadent feasts and parties watched by the eyes of the world.
