Wedding Bliss, The Marriage of Art and Ceremony
The Peabody Essex Museum is Salem, MA is currently running an exhibit on "Wedding Bliss, the Marriage of Art and Ceremony."
Here is link I found on the website with some of the displayed pieces http://pem.org/exhibitions/showcase.php#id=WeddedBliss&num=1
The exhibit awed me with a beautiful Vera Wang dress, typical of what we'd expect of a high-end western wedding. As it continued, I got to see the transgression the wedding couture. Right up the the Victoria era, western wedding dresses were in pale blue, or a just a "nice dress" that could be worn again. I believe it was Queen Victoria who woren the first white wedding gown.. as we know the rest is history. I'm still waiting for one of my brides to break the white wedding dress tradition : )
The exhibit also showed other objects and traditions from non-western cultures including China, Japan, and India.

The most impressive item in the exhibit was a Russian nuptial crown of Alexandra Feodorovna. All the women at the exhibit were surrounding this little crown counting the diamonds...

Boston
Everyone needs a little bit of R&R. I finally took a much needed break and went to Boston for a family visit. My sister is rooted there with her husband and a 2 year-old daughter. I like to think my little niece is a child genius. She forms full sentences and recognizes names and faces better then most adults. She can easily recall names of aunties, uncles, children and animals from trips she's taken as a 1 year old.
Here is a picture of Charles River on a nice sunny day.
