    1. [HWE] Huguenot Marriage
    2. Hello, During a recent discussion with an family member the topic of Huguenot weddings came about. And I wish to propose the same question here so that we may all consider what we think is the answer, if there is one. The year is 1555 and Jean wishes to wed and bed Isabeau whose family are very much Huguenot and so to please the bride Jean takes up this new thinking. Off go the lovers to find a Huguenot wedding official to become man and wife. And so the question. This is still very much Catholic France. Weddings are the sole area of the local Priest. ...If this couple are wedded by a Huguenot, are they technically married under the then laws of France ? Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
