Good morning Phoenix! Today's wedding trivia is from England, which will be the setting for Mathias' venture into love. Enjoy!
Snake rings dotted with ruby eyes were popular wedding bands in Victorian England -- the coils winding into a circle symbolized eternity.
Princess Victoria established the tradition of playing Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" during her wedding processional in 1858.
In Great Britain, it was considered good luck for the bride to kiss a chimney sweep on her wedding day. He supposedly had special powers, and when he cleans the chimney, he also sweeps away evil spirits.
Queen Elizabeth II had 12 wedding cakes. The one she cut at her wedding was nine feet tall and weighed 500 pounds.
In England, before literacy rates were high, invitations to weddings were shouted out by “bidders,” who were old men hired to announce the details of the wedding.
Joke of the Day:
A dentist, an electrician, and a carpenter decide to play a practical joke on their best friend on his wedding night.
"I'll loosen some joints on his bed so it collapses when he's making love," says the carpenter.
"I'll hot wire his mattress so they'll feel immense heat while making love," says the electrician.
"Those are good ideas," says the dentist. "But my contribution's going to be a real surprise."
The next day the new husband comes to the diner to meet his friends. He says "I congratulate you guys for making the bed heat up and collapse, but I'm gonna kill whichever one of you put novocaine in the massage oil!"
