What Life Was Like for Ordinary Victorians | Boring History For Sleep

Welcome to another sleepy journey into the past. Tonight, we explore: What Weddings Were Like in Medieval Times — and why they were nothing like the fairy tales.
From flower crowns and feast-day vows to dowries, church laws, and betrothal bargains, this episode gently unpacks the odd, often uncomfortable, and surprisingly tender traditions that shaped marriage in the Middle Ages. Whether you were a peasant or a noble, love was rarely the point… but that didn’t mean romance was impossible.
Drift off as we explore:
What medieval brides and grooms really wore
Why marriages were arranged before people could read
The meaning behind bread, rings, and veils
The quiet power of peasant love
And how "forever" started with a handshake
Let the soft voice of history lull you to sleep as we wander candle-lit halls, crowded feasting tables, and quiet village chapels. This is Boring History for Sleep—where every tale is slow, soothing, and real.
Sweet dreams, fellow time traveler.
