Color transcript of the wedding-procession. It took place by torchlight, and brought the bride from her father's to her husband's home. On this vase, the bride's mother leads the procession, holding torches in her hands; the bride and groom ride in a mule-drawn cart together with the groomsman, and the bride grasps her veil in the gesture called anakalypteria ("unveiling"), which was the focus of a wedding-ceremony of the same name. The groom's mother stands in the doorway of the couple's new home, holding a torch in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of greeting. Another mule-cart follows, with four men seated in it, and other men and women walk alongside--all of them, presumably, wedding-guests.
