Chimney Sweeps

Can you please tell me the reasoning behind the chimney sweep at the wedding as a sign of good luck?

 


The tradition started about 200 years ago when a chimney sweep jumped in front of the King's horses and carriage which had run out of control.

The grateful King then proclaimed that all chimney sweeps are good luck bearers and shortly afterwards began to be invited to weddings to kiss the bride for luck.
