Throughout history poetry has often been created to celebrate a wedding. This article will examine the ways in which this has happened at different periods of time and in many widely differing societies. It will look at some examples of wedding poems from a range of eras and cultures, and will set them in their specific context, drawing out the particular features that reflect that context.
