Couples Hope To Bring Home The Bacon
A bizarre ritual dating back to the 12th century in which the couple who can prove to a mock court that their marriage is the happiest wins half a pig takes place on Saturday.
The Dunmow Flitch Trials in Essex, feature a judge and jury of six maidens and six bachelors who hear each couple tell the story of their marriage from how they met to the proposal and how their families reacted.
The trials are held every four years and this time feature five couples who have been married for at least a year and a day in line with the rules.
Strange but true!!!!
