The popping of champagne corks at weddings originated from the time of Napoleon. Under Napoleon's command, the Hussars, a type of Hungarian light cavalry, celebrated victories by swinging their swords, and in doing so, cleanly slicing off the champagne corks. There is also a legend that states that the Hussars would ride at full gallop to one of the ladies holding up a bottle of champagne, and slice off the cork with one swipe of their swords.
Note: Today, champagne bottles are beheaded with a specially made sabre/sword.
