On This Day June 29

Charlotte Brontë married her father's curate, the Reverend Arthur Nicholls, on June 29, 1854.
Charlotte wore a white muslin wedding dress with delicate green embroidery and a lace trimmed bonnet. It was said she looked like a "snowdrop". Arthur was faithful, pleasant and indomitable and Charlotte at first merely admired but later grew to love her husband. They had nine months of an increasingly happy marriage as Charlotte found joy in domestic love until her death in March 1855.
