The Masked Wedding
A custom unique to Castle West. Tradition dictates that the Noble Lord or future Noble Lord's wedding be a masked affair. All the wedding guests, castle staff, and the bride and groom wear masks. At the very end of the wedding ceremony the bride and groom remove their masks to gaze upon one another after which they remain unmasked with their guests and the castle staff remaining masked for the wedding feast and ball following the wedding ceremony.
In the past, the Masked Wedding caused considerable excitement when the groom was not certain who he was marrying until the bride removed her mask. More recently the masks just add to the festive atmosphere of the occasion.
