A Viking marriage was a contract arrangement between families, as it was in other areas of medieval Europe. Although, a woman's consent wasn't necessary, it was understood a disapproving bride would result in 'unmitigated diaster', whish could cause theendof life or limbto the groom. Three payments were made prior to the ceremony. Two by the groom. One for guardianship for the bride. One to insure her virginity. The third payment was a dowry paid to the groom by the bride's father. Weddings were held on Fridays, sacred to the goddess Frigga. Wedding celebrations often lasted all week.Autumn was a popular seasonafter the harvestwhen plenty of food was available. Honey for mead which the couple drank together was collected during the summer months. Enough mead was gathered for a month-long period known as the 'honey-moon.' The wedding ceremony was the last occasion a woman would ever be allowed to wear her hair loose. Following an exchange of swords, the couple exchanged rings. The groom entrusted a sword to the bride for the birth of their first son. Doorways were believed to be portals to other worlds and spirits were thought to gather around them. It was a bad omen for the bride to trip crossing over the threshold is why the groom carried her over. The next morning the groom presents his bride with the Morning Gift-Keys to the various locks of his house.
I do not have a preference for dowry amounts, as I believe that marriage should be based on love and mutual respect rather than financial considerations. It is important to focus on the compatibility and happiness of the individuals involved rather than the amount of dowry.

In medieval times, a dowry typically included money, land, livestock, and household goods, which were intended to support the new couple and enhance the groom's status. It could also consist of personal items like clothing and jewelry. The size and value of the dowry often reflected the bride's family's wealth and social standing. Ultimately, the dowry was a crucial aspect of marriage arrangements, influencing alliances and the economic stability of both families.
