'On This Day in History'.......

I have seen this in some wedding programs and I wondered where people found this info.
While looking up lesson plans for my students I found a website that lists some things in history for a specific day.

Unfortunately, my wedding date doesn't have events that are too interesting or pleasing.

I thought I would post it in case you wanted to look for yours.

Does anyone have another site? I am hoping to find some better events in history.
