During a Roman festival at the archaeological park of Carnuntum, I watched a reenactment of a Roman wedding. That way, I learned about the tradition that the Roman bride is cloaked.
While watching the ceremony, two thoughts came to my mind: The bridegroom looks very confident, whereas the lady in the blue dress seems to have a dark presentiment.
