I'm Getting Married! Well... sort of
Source I am delighted to announce that I will be getting married! Do you hear that? Thats the sound of wedding bells and taffeta; the click of heels and the rustle of gowns. I’m actually not getting married. I’m already married, and so far the groom is panning out pretty well, so I don’t foresee myself making any changes anytime soon, but I was invited to play the part of the bride in a 1908 mock wedding! The Stevens-Crawford Heritage House was built in 1908, and is hosting a mock wedding as an opportunity for the public to see what a wedding hosted in a private home would have looked like. They reached out to our local Portland Edwardian society, for help casting the parts, and being the youngest, I was asked to play the bride. Of course, I’ve been doing piles of research since then, both on fashion and etiquette to ensure that I don’t make any missteps. This is also technically a living history event, so the ones playing the parts in the wedding are expected to stay in character t
