A Fleet Wedding,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating historical snapshot taken in the heart of Covent Garden, London, in 1747, showcases an intimate and clandestine wedding ceremony between a sailor and his landlady's daughter. The image, captured by St. Paul's, Covent Garden, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the intriguing customs and traditions of the time. The sailor, dressed in his naval uniform, stands proudly next to his bride, who is adorned in a simple yet elegant wedding gown. The couple exudes a sense of joy and excitement, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The backdrop of St. Paul's Church adds a sense of solemnity and legitimacy to the ceremony, despite its clandestine nature. The scene is set against the bustling backdrop of Covent Garden, with its lively market stalls and crowded streets. However, the focus remains on the couple and their special moment. The presence of the Fleet Parson, a clergyman known for conducting clandestine marriages for a fee, underscores the secrecy surrounding the ceremony. The year was 1747, a time when running away to get married was a common occurrence for young couples seeking to evade disapproval from their families or societal expectations. The Fleet Marriage Market, located near the Fleet Prison in London, was a popular destination for such elopements. The Fleet Parson would conduct the wedding ceremony for a fee, and the couple would spend their wedding night in the prison until they could afford to pay for their marriage license and leave. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history and unique customs of the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the lengths people went to in order to be together.
