Marriages on Xmas Day
« on: Wednesday 06 February 19 12:27 GMT (UK) »
Can't remember why it was that in the past people married on Xmas Day, was it because it was a day off from their work? Vicars must have been busy!

I am sure that is the reason, my parents got married on Easter Sunday 1937 for the same reason

Given it has always been a time for church services, family, celebration and feasting it was a good time to share weddings without losing work time.
And vicars are always busy at Christmas time anyway.

Xmas Day in Scotland was just a working day & couples often married at Ne'erday (New Year!)

Be careful not to view the Xmas of the past in the same way as the obsession it has become today.
