A genuine working chimney sweep's appearance at a wedding signifies good luck

This follows a tradition that started about 200 years ago when a London Chimney Sweeper saved the live of King George III. The sweep had been the only person brave enough to stop the king's out of control horses and carriage.

By Royal Decree the King proclaimed that all sweeps are good luck bearers and should be treated with respect. The folk law was established and to this day Chimney Sweepers are still invited to attend weddings and kiss the bride for good luck.

Always remember to use the services of a professional Chimney Sweeper for weddings and the cleaning of chimneys in your home. The National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS) is the only National body to represent Chimney Sweeps. All members are insured, trained and work strictly to a Code of Practice.

Should you wish to be blessed with good luck on your wedding day please contact Charles L. Rittenhouse Master Sweep.
