French Wedding Customs

[Ding Dong]

Does anyone know of a French wedding custom regarding putting champagne & chocolate in a pot?

"A fun French wedding tradition is for the newlywed couple to drink wine from a large, decorative bowl. The couple then passes among their guests to personally offer them a sip from the bowl. This partaking of wine symbolizes a sense of community and sharing." [SOURCE: http://www.perfectwed.com/guides/customs/french.sh
