1863 Best Bridesmaid Human Lavinia Marry Minnie Oddities Thumb Warren Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the unique moment of the Tom Thumb Wedding Group in 1863. At the center are Tom Thumb, or General Tom Thumb, as he was famously known, and his bride, Lavinia Warren. Tom Thumb, born as Charles Stratton, was an American man of short stature, measuring only 3 feet 7 inches tall. He had achieved great fame as a traveling performer and entertainer, earning the admiration of many, including President Abraham Lincoln. Lavinia Warren, standing next to Tom Thumb, was also of small stature, though taller than her husband. She was known as "Minnie," and was Tom Thumb's manager and partner in their act. The couple's wedding was a major event, attracting thousands of spectators and generating extensive media coverage. The best man in this wedding group was G.W. M. Nutt, another well-known performer of short stature. Nutt, who stood slightly taller than Tom Thumb, was a popular actor and comedian. He would later marry Minnie Warren, making this a double wedding ceremony. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals, who defied societal norms and captivated the public's imagination. Their wedding day was a celebration of their love and their unique abilities, and it remains an intriguing chapter in the history of human oddities and paranormal phenomena. This photograph, by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the unusual and the extraordinary in human history. It invites us to reflect on the lives of these individuals and the impact they had on their time, while also reminding us of the power of love and acceptance in the face of adversity.
