Wedding Ceremony in a Church
Who doesn't love a wedding? This breezy film squeezes the whole service into two minutes flat
1900 2 mins Silent
Overview
No, this isn't a Victorian wedding video, but it's the next best thing. This 1900 film is staged, and shot in front of a backdrop rather than in an actual church, but nevertheless it runs step-by-step through a wedding service. The wedding party, including groom, best man, vicar, bride and bridesmaids arrive in turn, all dressed up. After the vows are exchanged, the group returns to walk down the aisle and towards the camera so we can take a good look at the happy couple - and the bridal gown.
