This weekend has been a very special one for me, as yesterday I married the love of my life Yvette, my wonderful Mrs Holland. It was a perfect day in every way, and we would like to thank the many of you who sent best wishes and congratulations!
As you can imagine this weekend has also been a very happy but also very busy and tiring one, so today’s post is simply going to share images of two -enactments of the wedding of Charlotte Brontë and Arthur Bell Nicholls. The wedding itself took place in 1854 in the Haworth church presided over by Charlotte’s father Patrick, and in which Arthur served as assistant curate.
The first re-enactment pictured below occurred in 2004 to mark the 150th anniversary of Charlotte and Arthur’s big day.
The second re-enactment featured here took place in 2017, and here are some pictures I took, including of me holding a special commemorative confetti cone. I’m not sure they had those in 1854, but it was a wonderful, evocative event to be part of.
I leave you with a picture of myself and my beautiful bride. I couldn’t be happier, and I hope to see you here next Sunday for another new Brontë blog post.
