Tying the knot... The classic expression for "getting married" originates from the practice of using an actual knot in marriage ceremonies. This generally happened through ceremonial hand binding where the bride and groom's wrists were tied together, symbolizing the couple's marriage. In modern day the knot has remained a true symbol of lasting unity and an unbreakable bond.
