There's a tree in Eutin, Germany that has its own postal address and is believed to be responsible for more than 100 marriages.

It's called the Bridgegroom's Oak, and according to Atlas Obscura it's been helping couples get together since the late 1800s.

The tree's reputation for matchmaking has its origins in a story that goes back over 100 years and involves a man and a woman in love who were refused permission to marry by their parents.
