"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
