The newlyweds William and Ukara boarded a magnificent royal carriage, guarded by a phalanx of Norman Guards cavalry on the inner deck and a Norman knight on the outside, passing through several major streets of London and receiving the blessings of tens of thousands of citizens along the way.

Ulaka wore a fine ivory silk floor-length dress with an 8-metre-long hem and a wedding dress embroidered with delicate flowers and 10,000 small pearls, which alone cost a whopping £6,000 to make.

The queen's wedding dress was made of a more expensive white brocade imported from China's Great Song Dynasty, thousands of miles away, and adorned with pearls, silver ornaments, and precious stones.

Due to the extreme cost and scarcity of silk in the Song Dynasty, William had to spend a lot of money, two years in advance, to buy more than a dozen silk brocades from Venetian merchants to make wedding dresses.

This luxurious wedding dress not only opened the precedent of the white wedding dress, but also opened the precedent of sinicization.

The custom of wearing wedding dresses at weddings seems to have a short history, but it has a long history, dating back to ancient Egypt 4,000 years ago.

According to the hieroglyphic records left behind, the bride of the ancient Egyptian court nobles traditionally wore a multi-layered fine-pleated tulle skirt made of white linen, with the front chest exposed, the sleeves to the elbows, the chest and waist tied below the **, and the lower part of the bell-shaped dress. The wedding dress is tight-fitting as a whole, with layered pleated decorations, and is considered to be the prototype of the modern wedding dress.

Because the clothes were mostly woven with flax yarn at that time, and it was difficult to dye linen, the color was mainly white, and other colors such as yellow, blue, green, and red were used in a small area.

Ancient Rome in the 9th century BC entered a stage of maturity and prosperity in terms of culture and etiquette.

Religion permeates every aspect of people's lives, and depictions of gods and goddesses can be found everywhere in important ceremonies.

At that time, white symbolized joy and joy, and people often wore white clothes on festivals, and weddings were one of the most important ceremonies in life.

At the wedding, the bride wore a new white Dienica gown presented by her parents as a symbol of the bride's purity, and a Diuñica robe was tied with a Hercules knot that could only be untied by the groom.

The most important element of the entire wedding dress is the veil, which was called Nuhere, a term for the veil that is synonymous with marriage.

By the early and middle Middle Ages, wedding dresses became more conservative, without the long skirts of later generations, without luxurious accessories, and the bride's wedding dress became more solemn and solemn.

However, William's wedding dress for Ulaca included a tunic that only appeared in the 14th century, and a bodice and skirt that only appeared in the 16th century.

The wedding dress was a tight-fitting cott hati skirt with a skirt drag, lace trimmed the back and front, with long, form-fitting sleeves and a crack in the puffed skirt to reveal a petticoat with a skirt slip inside.

Corsets and skirts use padding to create a three-dimensional effect, emphasizing the geometry of the female figure, resulting in a slimmer waist and a pronounced overall curve.

The luxurious and intricate wedding dress not only increased the diversity of clothing fabrics, but also used many decorations such as embroidery, patterns, and inlaid jewelry, which drove the trend and fashion of the royal courts of various countries and attracted noblewomen from all over the world to follow suit.

The bride's lace veil is said to have been hand-woven by a Flemish nun, and the bride's tiara was a gift from Ferdinand I and his wife, and the matching pearl and diamond earrings were designed by the famous Italian jewelry designer, and it can also be used as a necklace.

The streets were lined with cheering crowds, with about 1,200 guards scattered along the parade route, in addition to the Guards Cavalry Regiment following the wagons, and dozens of companies assembled in the neighboring streets.

The city of London, with a population of about 25,000, sent half a legion of soldiers to maintain order on this day alone, and the port outside the capital London was closed and the roads in and out were tightly guarded, in order to ensure the safety of the wedding.

The total cost of the wedding was about 50,000 pounds, and there were 27 huge cakes on the wedding alone, not to mention other costs, but William thought it was worth it, showing the Norman royal model in Europe.

Relatives and friends, foreign royalty, government representatives, and diplomatic envoys all wore costumes, flower crowns or gold and silver crowns, and young girls wore flowing hair, which represented chastity, and some were covered with tulle, each of whom dressed himself in full beauty to set off the joy of the good days.

William and Uraka, the newlyweds, in Ferdinand and his uncle Ladolph. Morality. Normandy, the church parents and friends, accompanied by their fathers and sisters, came to Westminster Abbey, and this day was even more holy.

At 11 o'clock, the bride and groom walked into the church from the main gate - the west gate, the trumpeter blew the trumpet, and the loud trumpet sounded in the church, ushering in the most important moment of his life.

First of all, the bride's mother, Queen Sancha, is guided into the venue, and the host informs the Archbishop of Hamelin that the wedding can begin.

The Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey was already flanked by foreign royalty, government representatives, diplomatic envoys attending the wedding, and at the foreground were his most distinguished guests, kings and princes, and their families.

The bridegroom, William, and the bridesmaid, accompanied by the bishop, enter through the room next to the altar and then stand in front of the altar.

When the music for the wedding procession sounded, the bride Urraca entered the venue in a gown accompanied by her escort, her father, Ferdinand I, in the presence of a brideess, a flower girl, a ring-holding child, and a candle-carrying child.

At the altar of William and Ukara, Archbishop of Rouen Hamelin celebrates a marriage mass in the church.

"On this special occasion, all of our relatives and friends gathered before God to witness the bridegroom, William. Morality. Normandy, the bride Uraca. Himena is united into one flesh before God, in the holy covenant of marriage. ”

As the Bible says, "Unless the Lord had built the house, the builder would have labored in vain."

The Bible also says, "Recognize Him in all your things, and he will direct your paths." ”

"The bridegroom William. Morality. Normandy and the bride Uraca. Himmena you have made your desire to enter into this holy covenant together, and no one has proved that you are not worthy to enter into this holy covenant.

If you know that there are still factors among you that prevent you from entering into the covenant, I want you to be bold before God and all men......"

Hamelin, Archbishop of Rouen, solemnly proclaimed to William and Ulaka, and to the people.

Everything has a beginning.

Once the bride and groom, the congregation and those involved in the wedding have entered the venue, the wedding is announced by Archbishop Hamelin, who officiates at the wedding.

Often, this is also a question of whether the congregation has legal factors preventing the wedding from taking place. Historically, there have been few reasons to suggest that a wedding would be prevented from proceeding.
