I’m biased of course but

Eugène being ordered to marry a coffee mug casually informed of himself being betrothed, and for a first visual impression being told “please see enclosed coffee mug”

after having first learned of the engagement from the postman

while the bride wrote a tearful letter to her father, declaring she would sacrifice herself for the fatherland, asking for her dear Papa’s blessing in order to have the force to endure her dark fate

and all the rest of this marriage, up to Napoleon specifically telling Julie Bonaparte (Joseph’s wife), what the wedding gifts she was supposed to send had to cost

Funniest Napoleonic Era moment GO
