Today, Robert and Margaret Hickes request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their daughter Lydia Hickes to Edward Bangs. The mock-ceremony will be held in the English Village at 2:30 in the afternoon. However, visitors are invited to join the festivities all day long, from decorating the bridal chamber to merrymaking at the Bride-ale (wedding feast). Also, meet Native wedding guests, who have traveled to New Plimoth to show their support for the new couple.

10:30 am—Feel like a part of the wedding party as we prepare the Bride and Groom for the day ahead.

2:30 pm—The civil ceremony begins. Stand up for the bride and groom to discover the differences between a modern day marriage and a 17th-century wedding ceremony. Meet special wedding guests, including Tosowet and Annames, a well-known Native Wampanoag married couple from the village of Pokanoket. After attending the wedding, they plan to stay on in Plimoth Colony for a few days to do some trading before returning home.

1:30 – 4 pm —Join the bride and groom and their family at the Bride-ale reception. Experience the fun and taste a piece of the 17th-century wedding cake at the Fort/Meetinghouse. Your presence is the only gift they need!
