Why do brides wear white? Why is an engagement ring a required purchase? Join presenter Valerie Gugala to learn where our traditions have come from and how many of today's wedding traditions result from Victorian culture.
Valerie Gugala has performed in front of schools, churches, senior groups, and park districts throughout the Chicago area. She has spent 40+ years researching the Lincoln family and has been performing as and speaking about Mrs. Lincoln for more than 25. She has an extensive collection of books on the Lincoln family, emphasizing Mrs. Lincoln and the family's Springfield years. Valerie is one of the founders of Mary Lincoln’s Coterie, a group called “Mary Lincoln’s Coterie,” which is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Mary Lincoln.
