Renaissance wedding questions
Okay, I have one last Renaissance question. This is still relevant to the Assassin's Creed II universe.
I did a lot of research prior to this, mainly about mid-renaissance weddings. I searched 'renaissance wedding', 'fatherless wedding' and 'fatherless renaissance wedding' but not much was unearthed about my query.
My female character is about to get married. It is the early 1500's- between 1500 and 1510. Said charachter's father died about twenty years ago- placing my character in her 30's. I realize this is probably rather old for a woman to be wed in this time period, but due to her circumstances she hasn't been in one place long enough to actually settle down.
Now, what I need to know is what would happen since this character has no father to participate in the ceremony. Would another male relative have to come in place of her father? This is possible, if necessary. She has relatives living in Monaco that are at my disposal.
And also- what would the bride, groom and guests wear, color and style-wise.
Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: My heroine was with an associate of her father, Rodrigo Borgia, during her travels. And thank you for clearing up that white was not traditional at this point in time.
