The historic St. Bride's Documented Skeletal Collection (SB) dates from the 18th to 19th centuries (Scheuer and Black, 1995), and is still housed in the crypt of St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London, UK.

Mr. van der Stoel was given the job of persuading the father of the bride to sign a document agreeing to stay away from the wedding.
Photographer Allison Joyce documented a 15-year-old bride's wedding in the city of Manikganj, Bangladesh, on Aug. 20.
These legal documents require the details of a bride and groom's fathers.
Several Facebook pages --including Brides Beware, KNightmaresghtmands and International Ownership -- collect photos documenting the brides' online shopping horror stories.

In this study, three morphological features (i.e., surface topography, porosity, and osteophyte formation) were examined and scored using 564 clavicles of individuals of European ancestry (n = 318 males; n = 246 females), with known ages of 40+ years, from four documented skeletal collections: Hamann-Todd, Pretoria, St. Bride's, and Coimbra.
