A friend recently got married just outside of London. It was an upscale event, with all of the traditions normally reserved for Royal weddings. He explained that the ceremony wasn't much different than American weddings. It was somewhat more elaborate, but essentially the same.
The biggest difference was the post-wedding traditions. The bride and groom got adjoining rooms in one of London's finer hotels where they bathed, groomed, and donned their pajamas and robe in preparation for the rest of their first night together. Once ready, he knocked on the adjoining door and said, "I offer you my honour". She responded, "I honour your offer" which signaled permission for him to enter her room. He said that after that it was honour and offer the rest of the night.

I just had the conversation last night while watching a movie from 1934 called "It Happened One Night." The synopsis is an unhappily married heiress (Claudette Colbert) runs away, meets a man (Clark Gable) and convinces him to help her get to New York City. As the travel they pretend to be married so as to share sleeping quarters along the way and avoid detectives looking for her. The two grow closer, develop feelings for one another, they steal a car from a kind stranger that stopped and picked them up hitchhiking (only because she kicked her bare leg out) and eventually she throws herself at Gable in an overnight cabin they got for free by lying to the proprietor although he did decline her advances. That was 88 years ago and it's no different then than it is now, minus the sex scenes and 4-letter words that would appear in the movies of today.
