Tissekone

"Tissekone" comes from an old, rural Danish tradition, in which a man, on the morning after his wedding night, would have his penis held and wiped off by the oldest virgin in the village, while and after taking his morning piss. This task obviously wasn't very attractive, so even today the word carries some slightly negative connotations. The English word "tissue" is derived from this practice.
Congratulations Margaret! you have been chosen to be the Tissekone for Frederik's wedding!
