Medieval Living

Ah, romance and love . . . what wonderful things . . . um anyway. In Medieval times, the marriage of two people was really alot like it is today. Why? Well largely because many of the wedding customs we have today have their roots in Medieval times. As early as 1076, a priest was required to bless a couple – somewhere in the 16th century, it became mandatory for a priest to officiate the ceremony.
