Traditional "Ole Time" Tobago Wedding: This romantic procession was created over 40 years ago. Staged in the village of Moriah it attracts a great amount of people every year during the Tobago Heritage Festival. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
This Ole Time Wedding follows the Courtship Codes and features the wedding along with the after ceremony festivities. Strongly reflected are the European influences on the culture of Tobago. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
Dashing gentlemen are dressed in black and white formal three-piece suits including top hats, bow ties, and white gloves and carrying huge umbrellas to shade their female partners. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
The women, not to be out done, are gaily adorned with 18th and 19th century bustle dresses, platform shoes, wide-brimmed hats decorated with flowers and fascinators with white gloves. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
Heavily jeweled guests line up alongside their partners ready to "walk de wedding." www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
After the village church's ceremony, the wedding procession winds its way along the streets, dancing the "brush back" to the sweet sounds of the tambrin and fiddle. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
The procession stops along the way to enjoy offerings of cake and wine before moving on to the reception venue. www.visittobago.gov.tt/activities/weddings-and-honeymoons
