Marriage Procession in Manilla, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Marriage Procession in Manilla, 1857. Scene in...the Philippines, whose delicious climate, luxuriant vegetation, friendly inhabitants, and hospitable merchants, make it the most delightful place in the East...I saw a marriage procession this morning for the first time, such events not occurring every day here. A band of music, playing the jolliest air I have heard for a long time, preceded the lady, who wore a straw hat with three feathers under it; the veil is worn all over the head as at mass; splendid pina camisa, tapis of glorious stripes, and such a dress! On each side of her walked two girls likewise veiled, but without hats; their dresses scarcely less gorgeous than Madame's. As for the bridegroom, heaven only knows where he was, I don't; I suppose he was among the gentlemen in shirts in the rear, as women never walk with men here, at least not Indians'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
