Can you imagine that a young man chose his bride by the way she cut cheese? No, we are not joking. This a real story we know from Brothers Grimm. The hesitant bridegroom could not choose between three sisters, so his mother advised him to give them a piece of cheese and see how they cut it. If you want to find out who he chose and why, you may just grab "Brides on their Trial".
