Marriage ceremonial and chorale sheet

The printed ceremonial for the marriage was bound in red velvet. Prince Albert composed the music for the Chorale, which was sung as the bridal group approached the altar. Queen Victoria was much affected on hearing the Chorale, as Prince Albert had died just over a year before the wedding.
