My thinking from our times: "Why would a bride want to share her day with another couple's ceremony?" Thinking back then: "We're family; why not spare the expense?"<br /><br />At least that's what I'd guess...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-45116387112459335742013-02-15T11:10:25.367-08:002013-02-15T11:10:25.367-08:00I often wonder about those weddings that came clos...I often wonder about those weddings that came close together. But I suspect most in my family were those small ceremonies without fanfare.

Most likely the vows were said in the home and a dinner served afterwards..a wedding feast for all the relatives. The bride may have worn a new dress..white if the family was wealthy..black if they were not. Sometimes the bride sewed her own dress..or had a friend that sewed. My Husbands Grandparents were married on Christmas Day..but Christmas was different back then ..it revolved around Church and a few small gifts to be exchanged..socks, mittens, hankies, books, journals.. much simpler times.

My family name is Levy and my grandfather was one of 4 boys - I read your post with keen interest hoping maybe one of those daughters married one of my Levys. It will be interesting to find if our ancestors were connected in any way.Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.com
