Answer 2

Try looking up some of the kings and queens of that era. Their weddings are described in library books. Often royal weddings did not involve the principals at all -- or rather, they only involved one, and a stand-in was sent in place of the other.
As far as dress, the white wedding gown was far in the future. Wedding gowns were designed to be as sumptuous as possible.
I typed Medieval Castle Weddings into the Yahoo search slot (research your answer) and got a whole slug of stuff. Give it a try.

Answer 3

There are some good books out there about medevial cooking, particularly for feasts etc. If you are looking more for customs, then it would differ by country.

A Catholic Mass for example, would take place in Spain, Italy, France, and Pre-Anglican England.

After Henry's break with the church, and anglican ceremony would replace such trappings.

Consumation was expected, though not if the wedding had been performed by proxy. It was normally proven by the examination of the wedding-night sheets.

Engagement took place for the couple at young ages, and were often changed with little notice.

I hope that helps

Answer 4

Anne of Cleves is an interesting one. She was the fourth of Henry VIIIs sixth wives and the marraige was arranged before they met as part of a political treaty. When Henry met her he didn't like her at all but had to go through with the marraige to keep the treaty. So while arrangements went ahead Henrys ambassadors and those of cleves were trying to negotiate a way out of it. This is the only known marraige in history where divorce procedings began before the actual wedding had taken place.
