Barnum's autobiograpy Struggles and Triumphs entitled "Marriage of General Tom Thumb and Miss Lavinia Warren." Stratton and Warren's marriage at Grace Church is shown, this time from a left hand angle. Stratton and Nutt stand on the right, Warren and her sister on the left. All of the crowd looks on. Held on February 10, 1863 at Grace Episcopal Church in New York City, the marriage of Charles S. Stratton - known as General Tom Thumb - and M. Lavinia Warren was also called the Fairy Wedding. It featured not only Charles and Lavinia tying the knot, but fellow Barnum performers and little people George Washington Morris Nutt - known as Commodore Nutt - and Minnie Warren - Lavinia's sister - as the best man and maid of honor respectively. The wedding was promoted relentlessly by P.T. Barnum, and made into a major social event on scale with contemporary celebrity weddings. There was extensive merchandising, especially photographs and illustrations of the wedding party. Show less
