What was unusual for the time about Shakespeare's marriage?

Answer 1

If you mean, "was it a happy marriage?", it isn't clear. It used to be that people cited Shakespeare's gift of his second-best bed to Anne, and the fact that he had a job so far from home that he had to set up a separate establishment in London as evidence that they did not get along very well. On the other hand, there are other explanations for the will (having to do with the common-law right of dower), and the fact is that Shakespeare chose to retire to his home in Stratford to live with Anne, which suggests that they got along just fine. Anne helped raise an expensive monument to William in Stratford church and was buried by his side. The evidence that they might have had an unhappy marriage is more scanty.

Answer 2

The bride was three months pregnant. The groom was 18 and 8 years younger than the bride.

Answer 3

William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway on either November 27 or 28 in 1582. Shakespeare was a minor at the time and Anne was twenty six and several months pregnant.

Answer 4

It took place about five months before the birth of his first child, if you see where that's going.
