Put a Ring on It

When it comes to the stages leading up to marriage, in Shakespeare's day and in ours, there's a recurring theme: the importance of having your commitment witnessed by other people every step of the way. In this episode, we take a look at the often tricky rituals of courtship, engagement, saying "I do," and celebrating the couple by flinging them around the dance floor and stalking them on their wedding night—and talk about what has and hasn't changed.
