I think she's sad because it rained on her wedding day. It's a bad omen. That marriage is doomed! Doomed DOOMED!

I always heard rain on the wedding day promised fecundity and so was good luck.
Nevertheless, a rainbow came out to banish the rain on my first wedding and couldn't save it, nor did we have any children, thankfully.

OH NO! We dont want to be fecund in our first 5 years of marriage! For some reason, that wedding viddy reminded me of LIAISONS.

Do you think they take baths everyday, back then? Although from what I read, its the Western countries that have this thing about taking a shower or bath everyday. This includes the Japanese too. But back then --Georgian era --- I dont think baths were a big thing. Though thats a lot of rich fabric. How do you even wash that?

No one bathed everyday in the 18th century unless you were a clean freak. The rich bathed perhaps three days a week tops. The poor merely dabbed at themselves wid a wet rag. Silk clothes were usually spot cleaned. Depending on the kind of stain (paint or coffee or oil), the stain wuz usually rubbed wid cloth wet wid either boiled water, old bread, vinegar, french chalk, lemon or turpentine. Elaborate ball gowns were usually worn only 2 or 3 times before being discarded becuz of the difficulty of cleaning, since thin silks are usually shredded to bits after cleaning 3 times. This is why so few 18th century silk embroidered costume survives -- most of whut we have wuz probably worn only once. This is more recent silk wedding dress, 1872. More wedding gowns survived in history becuz they were only worn once. PS. Elaborate Cotton underthings were worn to keep the expensive silky stuff from touching the body so it would smell less. Cotton underthings could stand much more abuse in the laundry than the showy stuff. Mantua gown, 1708, salmon damask, silk embroidered

I've heard different things on this. I've heard Marie Antionette bathed every day and everyone thought she was off her rocker. I've also heard that back in the day everyone peed and pooped in the Thames and it was so fetid and full of tanner's chemicals that it made people sick and that's why no one bathed in it. Bathing really did make people sick, it wasn't an urban myth. Not bathing was the logical thing to do not something weird. Who wouldn't get sick bathing in poop water. So that's why underpants were invented!

Poor people who bathed did get sick. Yeth, the Thames wuz a cesspool alright. Not to mention the fact that people would just empty their chamberpots out the window, no matter who wuz walking beneath! Eeeek! But rich people always had clean waters. Its the underlings who got the filth. First, the master & his family bathes, and then the housekeeper/butler bathes in the masters water, and then the footmen & maids, and then the kitchen staff, who probably got horrid gray shite. Ewwwww. PS. About that Liaisions viddy ... they must haf done it for the movies becuz the maids are overdressed (they would wear plainer stuff for sure, some of those maids dresses are too nice) and Valmont has too many attendants (again, overdressed). Only royals would have that many people to help dress them (6!) Valmont is just a rich single libertine.
