For several years, town halls have been implementing stricter rules for weddings. Because too many of them degenerate and cause disturbances to public order. Some are even canceled at the last moment if the procession does not respect the charter of good conduct.
To prevent these incidents from happening, town halls hit where it hurts: in the wallet. Thus, the future bride and groom must pay a deposit which will be returned to them only if everything took place happily but above all calmly.

A year after the launch of the latter, the mayor was pleased to note “a consequent reduction in acts of obvious incivility”. Unfortunately, some people always forget to be civil.
