The marriage of Queen Victoria

When I posted the article about the purple wedding dress, Darryl Moland noted that the tradition of the white wedding dress began with Victoria.  Today I ran across this 1840 painting by George Hayter of Victoria's wedding at Dark Silence in Suburbia, via Fuck Yeah, Victorians!

    I'm not sure what your point is (?). This blog has had readers from 220 countries - I don't try to cater to any particular group. The pound coin post was meant to emphasize the worldwide debasement of currency.
