I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number, it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.

The first report of Henry VIII's interest in Jane Seymour was in early 1536 sometime before Catherine's death. During the summer Jane Seymour took no public engagements and led a relatively quiet life being attended by the royal physicians and the best midwives in the kingdom. The previous episode "Anne Boleyn" displayed Jane as fully knowing the damage her relationship with King Henry was doing.

She was the only one of Henry's wives to receive a queen's funeral and his only consort to be buried beside him in St. George's Chapel Windsor Castle as Jane Seymour was the only consort to have a male heir to survive infancy.
