1863 - Albert Edward, The Prince of Wales married Princess Alexandra of Denmark. They married at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The choice of venue was criticized widely. As the ceremony took place outside London, the press complained that large public crowds would not be able to view the spectacle. Prospective guests thought it awkward to get to and, as the venue was small. The Danes were dismayed because only Alexandra's closest relations were invited. The British court was still in mourning for Prince Albert, so ladies were restricted to wearing grey, lilac or mauve.
