Can we post some pictures and information of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpsons wedding? I heard she had a photographer come a few days before the wedding and have some formal shots done. Does anyone have any pictures of this?

Cecil Beaton took some shots the day (or a few days) before the wedding; if you can get hold of a copy of his book of royal photos there are a few of them there.

3 June 1937
The former king Edward VIII, born HRH the Prince Edward but always known as "David" to his nearest and dearest, legally made twice-divorced Wallis Warfield his wife on this day. The couple took the vows of marriage in the Château de Candé, near Tours, France. The sixteen uests included Herman Rogers, Major Metcalfe, and the bride's "aunt Bessie". The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, the Vicar of St. Paul's, Darlington. The bride wore a design by Mainbocher. The Duke wore a morning suit. Unfortunately, no member of the royal family could attend the service, because the King's position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England would have been compromised, being that the Church would not sanction the wedding. The couple took a honeymoon in Venice, Italy. Ms. Warfield became Her Grace the Duchess of Windsor.

This story of what a man would do for love blows my mind.

I just love David. I don't care what anyone says. The man had style.

I've seen the Duchess of Windsor's wedding gown on display at one of the Metropolitan Museum's costume exhibitions. She was very petite. The dress itself must have faded considerably - as I recall, it was created in a blue shade, but it is now a dull, mauve color.
