    Love, Law, and Vows: Marriage in Colonial America

    When we picture a wedding today, we often imagine spring flowers, white dresses, formal venues, and carefully scripted vows. But marriage in colonial America looked—and meant—something very different. Today, we’re stepping back into the 1700s to explore how people married, why they married, and what weddings revealed about power, class, race, and love itself.   Source notes:  https://amativecreative.com/journalposts/colonial-wedding-customs/   https://blog.dar.org/2019/02/14/tales-archives-love-and-marriage-americana-collection   https://savingplaces.org/stories/antebellum-plantation-weddings-among-enslaved-women-and-men   https://americanpatriotseries.blogspot.com/2011/05/wedding-in-colonial-america.html   https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/relationships-love/a35992704/jumping-the-broom-wedding-tradition-history-origins/
