Small correction on the Bulgarian one – the bear is getting married, not the fox. Otherwise, cool article.

The only explanation I can offer is when I went to Mala Mala Game Reserve near the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
We were taken on a night-drive in an open Landrover and made our way down to the river where a leopard had been seen. By means of spotlights held by the trackers we spotted the leopard and then followed it up the riverbank to a huge tree. Again with the spotlights we were able to see the leopard climbing the tree but soon realised there was a baboon further up the tree when it made a barking sound. As the leopard climbed higher we suddenly saw this spray of glistening rain and were mystified until the game ranger told us the baboon had wet itself in fright. You can imagine we quickly shut our gaping mouths!

Can someone please enlighten me as to where the expression “monkey’s wedding” came from. I know, from what I was taught it represented “rain and sunshine”. However, I would dearly like to know where this originated from! If there is anyone out there who is able to shed light on this subject please let me know.
Regards
Linda

I’ve heard, and use, in finnish as “ketut kylpee”, that’s foxes are bathing.
