An old wedding reenactment!





While at the Tryon Palace, they had a reenactment of an 18th Century wedding. Most people couldn't afford a fancy church wedding, so they usually had a minister perform the ceremony over an anvil. This was a symbolic meaning to "forge" the marriage and the couple together forever. Kind of cool symbolism, and neat to watch this ceremony. The funny thing is, the couple getting fake married are actually engaged in real life getting married in January. They have now been fake married 4 times! LOL, they should be quite prepared for the real thing in January!
