The Story of the Nuernber Bridal Beaker:
The story goes that a long time ago a goldsmith in the famous city of Nuernberg wanted to wed Kunigunde, a young lady of noble birth.
Her father, however, did not like the idea and resorted to a ruse to prevent his daughter from marrying the penniless artisan. He would only allow the wedding to take place on condition that the goldsmith succeeded in making a vessel from which two persons could drink together without spilling a drop of contents.
The goldsmith succeeded, and the news of the happy ending spread quickly over Bavaria, Germany, where the bridal cup has been in use ever since.
