I just remembered something I read many years ago, in a usually unreliable source: way back when, Venice had an annual ceremony were the doge would throw a gold ring into the sea to confirm that Venice was the bride of the sea. This is a marriage ritual with no representative of the groom, and a male representing the bride.
