Several years elapsed after the disruption of Roman Catholicism in this country be- fore the nuptial ceremony was regularly performed within the church.
Selden states that dower could be lawfully assigned only at the door; and Littleton says : " When he commeth to the church door to be married there, after affiance and troth plighted, he endoweth the woman of his whole land, or of the half, or other lesser part thereof, and there openly doth declare the quantity and the certainty of the land sh...e shall have for her dower." When Edward I. manied Marguerite of Prance, in 1299, he endowed her.at the door of Canterbury Cathedral. The object of this ancient custom of formally investing a bride with lands and other endowments at the church door was that it, like the mai-riage itself, might be a public act, and witnessed by all the persons who had assembled. Chau- cer, in the time of Edward III., makes the buxom Wife of Bath glory in the fact that : " Husbands at churche doore have I had five." In later times marriages were frequently performed in the body of the church before the parties proceeded to the altar, and sometimes a particular stone within the church was used for the couple to stand on while the ceremony 154 THE WEDDING DAY was being performed.
