- Similarly, Diana Leonard noted of her study of couples getting married in Swansea in the late 1960s that most wanted a ‘proper’ wedding—--ie a white wedding in church--—but that since seven brides were pregnant, and five men and four women had been married before, only seven out of the twenty were ‘eligible’ to marry in church (Leonard 1980: 206).
