Queer moments abound in traditional rituals associated with marriages and weddings, not only in some regions of English Canada but in most European and European-colonised locations. In the Prairie provinces and Ontario, mock weddings (folk dramatic travesties of the Christian/majoritarian wedding ceremony, usually performed cross dressed) can interrupt wedding showers or milestone anniversary parties. And from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia, charivaris (late night visits to a newly married couple, featuring extreme noisemaking and/or traditional trickery) can follow a marriage. The authors question whether these practices transgress against conventional heterosexual marriage or merely ritualise and thus contain potential resistance to its strictures, and find that they do both.

In 1881 William Powell Frith (1819–1909) exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy in London titled For Better For Worse (1881; oil on canvas; Private Collection). It depicts a well-to-do wedding Frith had witnessed in Bayswater (Figure 3). The newly married couple are represented crossing the pavement on a red carpet, just about to step into a waiting carriage pulled close to the kerb. The audience for their departure comprises a broad mix of classes and types. In his own description of this work, Frith identified the bride and groom, the bride's family and friends arranged on the steps of the house, plus a crowd standing behind the red carpet that included street boys, a Jewish second-hand clothes seller, and a policeman. In the foreground, on the left, a family of beggars approach from the street, while on the right-hand side, with his back to the viewer, stands a figure identified by Frith as an Italian boy with a monkey (2: 209–10).

Back to the future. Suppose for a moment that you are the chair of a faculty team at Cornell University in the year 1905 and are charged with the responsibility for developing plans for a new science building. You, however, have the foreknowledge that this building is the one in which a young man from Columbus, Ohio, Thomas Midgley Jr., will one day learn his basic science. Further, you know what he will do over the course of his career. You have only this one chance to affect the mind of the man who will otherwise someday hold the world’s record for banned toxic substances by formulating leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons. What would you do? Before developing the building program, could you engage your faculty colleagues in a conversation about the kind of science to be taught in the building? Would it be possible, in other words, to make architecture a derivative of curriculum? Would it be possible to signal to all entering the building that knowledge is always incomplete and that, at some scale and under some conditions, it can be dangerous? Is it possible to make this warning similar to but more effective than the Surgeon General’s warning on a pack of cigarettes? If you succeed, the catastrophes of lead dispersal from automobile exhaust and the thinning of stratospheric ozone from chlorofluorocarbons will not occur. Of course, the design of science buildings alone is not likely to influence young minds as much as teachers, peers, and classes do, but it is far from inconsequential. Frank Lloyd Wright once said that he could design a house for a newly married couple that would cause them to divorce within a matter of weeks. By the same logic, it is possible to design science buildings in such a way that they contribute to the estrangement of mind and nature, deadening senses and sensibilities. Indeed, this is the way we typically construct buildings. Typically, science buildings are massive and fortresslike and give no hint of intimacy with nature. Their design is utilitarian, with long, straight corridors and graceless, square rooms. Neither daylight nor natural sounds are permitted. Windows do not open.

The article considers the use of handicraft sheepskin and leather clothes in the wedding ceremonies of the Middle Dnieper Ukrainians in the late 19th – early 20th century. It is established that they have performed important ritual and protective functions. In particular, the ritual function means that clothes served as ritual attributes. In gifting ceremonies, the sheepskin and leather clothes had both practical and special semantic meanings (for example, by giving boots to the bride’s mother, the groom showed his respect and appreciation). The protective function is connected with ancient beliefs about the power of ritual attributes and magic acts. In particular, the leather in the culture of East Slavic people is associated with birth and renewal, while the sheepskin was the symbol of wealth and fertility. In wedding ceremonies, the sheepskin was associated with a cloud, while the wheat grains were thrown over the bridal couple as a symbol of rain and fertility. We may define pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding rituals with sheepskin and leather clothes. The most widespread pre-wedding ritual was gifting leather boots to the fiancée and sewing a flower into the fiancé’s sheepskin hat on the engagement day. A sheepskin coat turned inside out played an essential role in the Ukrainian traditional wedding. The highest level of concentration of various magical symbols is retraced in the ceremony of send-off and reception of a newly married couple. In post-wedding rituals, the sheepskin coat was used for costume games to introduce such characters as a bride and a groom, animals, gypsies, etc.

This study explores the encounters of Islamic law and local culture in the wedding ceremony in the villages on Madura, which have been influenced by the former kingdom in the eastern part of the island. This tradition for the village community members is so pivotal that ignoring it is tantamount to inviting calamity. This study applies the theory of Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a and liminality of life-cycle by Arnold van Gennep. The ceremony includes several steps, starting from the parade of the groom with his envoy into the bride’s house up to the blessing to the newly married couple. Focusing primarily on two precessions in the wedding ceremony, namely ngiddhe 'tellor sampek bhesa (stemping the eggs until they break) and mengghar bhalabhar (opening rope), this study reveals that these processions mark a new phase in the life-cycle of the couple and entails symbols of meaning. Through the ceremony, the couple experiences separation and inclusion into a new chapter in their life. Because the tradition realizes happiness and fortune and dispells evil for both the couples and their exended family in general, it implies that the tradition also aims to implement the highest objective and principles of Islamic law.

Rear Window was the first of six pictures Alfred Hitchcock would direct for Paramount under the contract negotiated by Lew Wasserman. On its first script review, the Production Code office found fault with nearly every aspect of the film, from the salty dialogue of the young screenwriter John Michael Hayes to most of the courtyard residents, including the scantily clad Miss Torso and the newly married couple whose activities represented an ‘unacceptable play on the sexual aspects of a honeymoon.’ But Breen’s reviewers reserved their strongest criticism for the suggestion of a sexual relationship between the lead characters, played by James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Hitchcock stilled many of the censors’ worries by inviting them to visit the elaborate indoor set of the courtyard, pointing out that everything happening in the apartments across the courtyard would be filmed from the viewpoint of a man in a wheelchair looking out of his apartment window, not with salacious close-ups. The censors still found fault with three major elements: the dancing of Miss Torso, the honeymooning couple’s sexual appetites, and Grace Kelly’s negligee, which was ‘too suggestive and too boldly unconventional.’ Hitchcock assuaged these fears by swapping off topless views of Miss Torso with protective footage already filmed for trade-off purposes, drawing the shades on the honeymooners, and limiting scenes with Grace Kelly’s negligee to those essential to the plot. Code officials accepted these trade-offs, and the film was a critical and commercial success.

As was the case with other politically significant unions, the early years of the marriage of Francesco Gonzaga and Isabella d’Este were dominated by the expectation that the couple would quickly produce an heir. While this pressure was most acutely felt by Isabella, the lack of a son represented a significant source of worry for a ruler who sought to secure a dynastic legacy. This chapter explores the struggle of a newly married couple to develop trust and to become sexually comfortable with each other, a process that proved far from straightforward. Francesco was known for his ribald humour and frank sexuality, while Isabella married with little awareness of what to expect in relation to her duty to bear a son. By piecing together evidence relating to their early relationship, the chapter traces the emotional discomfort the marital partners experienced in the initial stage of their union, the lengths to which Isabella’s parents and members of her own household went to resolve them, and the public scrutiny to which the marchioness was subject in the lead up to the birth of her first child.
