830 — Theodora is crowned Byzantine empress and marries Theophilos
Theodora was crowned Byzantine empress at the Church of St Stephen in Constantinople on June 5, 830, and married Emperor Theophilos on the same day. She later served as regent for their young son Michael III after Theophilos died in 842. The restoration of the veneration of icons for which she is remembered took place during that later regency, not at the wedding.
June 5 was Theodora's coronation and marriage in Constantinople; the precise church of the wedding is disputed. Her restoration of icons came later, in 843.

Recall elections for four Wisconsin state senators were held during the spring of 2012.
