Marriage Cup

1955: A local girl drinks from a ceremonial tea cup, on which is written 'For happiness - marry', worn on the lapel of one the bachelors who flock to the tiny village of Ecaussinnes-Lalaing, in Belgium, for the 'Matrimonial Teaparty', or 'Festival of Love'. The girls of the village hope to find a sweetheart, and marriage, as a result of the annual event. (Photo by Fred Van Schagen/BIPs/Getty Images)
