Happy Monday morning Phoenix! I know you are all chomping at the bit to start your week. *insert sarcasm font here* Chin up! We only have a week till we find out how Mat is going to find the love of his life. Until then, enjoy this trivia….
The Old English word for the wedding ceremony was bridelope, which literally met “bridal run.” The word “wed” derives from the Proto-Indo-European base wadh, meaning to pledge or redeem.
In the United States, June is the most popular month for weddings, followed by August.
Green is typically not worn at Scottish weddings because it is the color of fairies and an omen of revenge. It is considered unlucky to even eat green vegetables at a wedding.
Nearly all cultures have showered the wedding couple with symbolic food. For example, the French throw wheat, Sicilians throw wheat bread and salt, and the English throw pieces of cake. Early Romans or Greeks threw nuts, dates, and seed-bearing plants. Bulgarians have thrown figs.
A wedding cake is traditionally a symbol of good luck and fertility and has been a part of wedding celebrations since Roman times, when a small bun, symbolizing fertility, was broken above the bride’s head at the close of the ceremony. During the Middle Ages, custom required the bride and groom to kiss over small cakes.

Random Daily Factoid:
Who would've thought? The Mosquito causes an estimated 2-3 million fatalities a year. Far less than the 5-10 that bears cause each year.

Great Place for a Getaway:
Quebec’s Hotel de Glace, made entirely of snow and ice, and is constructed each year when the temperatures stay below zero for one week.
Visitors can enjoy a cocktail served in an ice glass or stay the night. Even if the hotel and its furniture are entirely made of ice and snow, you will be getting a very comfortable bed. When the time comes, a cozy sleeping bag, an isolating bed sheet, and a pillow will be delivered to your room. Just don’t bring your space heater. The hotel is open from December through March.
