Behind the words

Same idea, different pictures

English ties a knot, an old symbol of a lasting bond. French convoler en justes noces comes from Latin convolare, to fly together, and now sounds a little formal and playful at once.

Korean eats noodles, 국수를 먹다: long noodles, for a long marriage, are served to wedding guests. “When will we eat your noodles?” means “When are you getting married?”
