Ok, I thought this was so interesting..  I had actually read it before, but I wanted to share it with someone else.  I'm not even sure if these stories are true, but they sound fairly believable to me.

Sayings Originating from the 1500s

Most people got married in June because they often took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty

People bathed once a year. People stink not too long after that. People don't want to stink at their wedding. Therefore, they wed not long after bathing.
