Period Drama Weddings

How could I post about Weddings from the Past and not include Period Films?
Spoiler Alert: Since many weddings are at the conclusion of the drama, you will see plot developments ahead of time, if you've not seen these films already...

Here are a selection of weddings as seen in period dramas
followed by the name of the actresses that portrayed the bride.

Cranford (Kimberly Nixon as Sophy)
I love the scene where Miss Matty gives the muslin to Sophy for her wedding dress and of course the fact that Dr. Harrison overcame his "engagements" to Augusta and Mrs. Rose. Awesome series. Sweet couple.
