   See L. Sprague de Camp’s “The Goblin Tower” (and the entire Novarian series): the king rules for some set period. After that time period, good king or bad, his head is chopped off, which becomes a grisly prize when it is tossed to the waiting audience and the new king is selected by whomever catches the head. Someone always wanted to catch the head even though they knew the outcome x years down the line.

I’ve been to weddings like that.

Sounds to me like a praying mantis honeymoon.
