A while back on you-tube I saw a video clip of part of a best man's speech that someone had recorded and posted there. The best man asked the bride to put her hand out on the table. He then asked the groom to place his hand on her's and hold it gently. He asked the bride to say to the groom "I love you", which she repeated, and then he asked the groom to say the same, and he repeated "I love you" to the bride. The best man then turned to face all the assembled guests and announced "I hope you all have witnessed this momentous occasion. This will be the last time he ever has the upper hand, or the last word in this marriage."

Sounds a lot like the traditional Jewish wedding, when the groom is required to smash a glass with his foot, during the ceremony. It is a symbol of remembering the destruction of the Temple and and knowledge that there is also sadness amongst the happiness of the marriage.
It has also been said in jest... this is the last time in the groom's life that he gets to put his foot down! 😁 😁 😁
