10 unnecessary ridiculous facts about getting married

Fun fact: only 25 percent of newlyweds have sex on their wedding night. We are either too drunk, too hyped, too tired, or too busy opening gifts and counting cash in envelopes. Oh, and the average cost of a wedding? 16,000 euros net. Shall we? Facts about getting married? Cozy. Here it comes.

1. Okay, starting with something funny. The best man had to make sure that the bride didn't escape during the ceremony. The title ‘best man’ was not chosen lightly, as the witness was seen as the strongest and most capable of defeating enemies during the ceremony.

2. ‘My heart will go on’ by good old Céline Dion is one of the most played songs at a wedding.

3. We wear our wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand because people used to believe that the blood vessel in this finger went directly to the heart. Heart, love, you get it.

4. Pompiedompiedom. Over twenty percent of women gain as much as ten kilos within a year after the wedding ceremony. HAHAHA.

5. The most expensive wedding ever, sit down for this... 100. Million. Dollars. The party of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (the prince of Abu Dhabi) and Princess Salama in 1981 lasted seven days, and google it for fun because what happened there is just not normal.

6. Initially, wearing a white dress did not symbolize fertility or virginity, but wealth. Washing a white dress was so difficult that you could only wear it once. Ahaaaa.

7. All I want foaaaa Christmas ihihihisssss…youhouhouuuuu. Most proposals happen in December.

8. And in the category ‘completely weird’: did you know that in France it is legal to marry someone who has passed away? What on earth is that about?!

9. Las Vegas has the most weddings (as many as 100,000 couples annually), followed by Hawaii with 25,000 weddings per year.

10. To break the world record for the longest marriage, you and your love will have to grow old and, um, get married veeeery early. 91 years and 12 days, to be exact. Good luck!.
