This is a fabulous piece of antique ephemera that my good friend Ted, a fellow antique dealer, let me borrow today. This piece came out of an early pre-civil war bible, dated 1839! This is a wonderful Victorian Marriage Certificate, that has never been used. This would make a gorgeous card for a bride and groom, or a beautiful cover for a wedding scrapbook album!

Just gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! Reminds me of the marriage certificate I have framed in my living room. It was my grandparents' from the early 1920's I think.
They used to make that stuff so much more special!
This is amazing! Just gorgeous...thank you for sharing.
