On 29 July 1565, the marriage took place by Roman Catholic rites in Mary's private chapel at Holyrood, but Darnley (whose religious beliefs were unfixed – he was raised as a Catholic, but was later influenced by Protestantism) refused to accompany Mary to the nuptial Mass after the wedding itself.
Ženidba se održala 29. srpnja 1565., po katoličkom obredu, u Marijinoj privatnoj kapeli u Holyroodu, ali je Darnley (čija su vjerska uvjerenja bila nestalna - odgojen je kao katolik, ali je kasnije bio pod protestantskim utjecajem) odbio pratiti Mariju na Misu nakon obreda vjenčanja.
