24+ Marie Antoinette Wedding Night. A marriage between the two royal houses had been planned since the early 1760s, but only came about in 1770. A marriage by proxy with louis had already been acted four weeks before but the official ceremony now took place.
The king and courtiers accompanied the young couple to the bedroom. But, their nuptials weren’t as happy as they hoped. There was a custom to consume the marriage on the wedding night and it was considered a ceremonial event.
