I'm preparing music for a shtetl wedding themed thing later in the year and was looking for new-old sources to work with and remembered this great folio published in New York 125 years ago.

One of the earliest published klezmer collections in the US, Herman S. Shapiro's European Jewish Wedding goes through various ritual melodies, processionals and Polish/Ukrainian dances, almost no trace of the Romanian-inspired Bulgars, Doinas and Zhoks we associate with old klezmer.

https://www.loc.gov/item/2023796142/Some of these tunes are pretty cool and never really made it into the common repertoire in the klezmer revival, not even in the most niche jam sessions as far as I know. The band Budowitz did perform a bunch of them on their Wedding Without a Bride (2000) CD years back, this is the one I could find on youtube.
