Marriage is one of the oldest rituals in human civilization, without marriage human civilization will not last more than one generation.

The photo above shows a bride and groom with their escorts in West Sumatra around 1911. This photo was taken by Jean Demmeni, a photographer of French-Madurese descent who lives in West Sumatra, and the archive is kept by Leiden University in the Netherlands.
