Who performed the marriage ceremony in the middle ages?

Answer 1

AnswerA church AnswerI was surprised by this. According to Wikipedia, most medieval marriages were private and did not require churches, priests, or ceremonies. They were registered with the local church after the fact. That being the case, clearly they could have happened anywhere.

Answer 2

If there was a ceremony, it was performed by a priest or bishop, but there was not usually a ceremony for medieval marriages.

Members of the royalty and high nobility usually had marriage ceremonies to formalize and bless the bonds. Wealthy people of the middle class often emulated what the royalty did, if they could. Peasant couples were more likely to decide they were married and announce it to those around them. Perhaps it was a time for a party, but it was not even necessary to register the marriage at the local church. Church marriages became the rule in most of Europe after the Middle Ages ended.
