Discover Son de Flor's New Spring & Summer Collection: sondeflor.com/?a=elliedashie Use code: ELLIEDASHWOOD15 💕 Have you ever wondered why Jane Austen characters like Lydia Bennet have to run away to Scotland to elope? In this video, we break down the history of the English Clandestine Marriage law that changed elopements forever and gave rise to the classic Regency Era literary trope of a trip to Gretna Green. We cover everything from English Common Law to Georgian Era Fleet Street Weddings to Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1753 and beyond.
