Possibly the spoon thing is Welsh?
Quote:
Wooden Spoon
The wooden spoon originated from Wales. It was given to a lady by her admirer. A man would need to show both the woman he loved and her father his intentions. The carved spoon would show he was good with his hands and so he could work the fields and provide for her and the carved heart would be to show his affection for her.
If she keeps the spoon then this would indicate that her heart belonged to him.

Of course, in these modern times, the young man is more likely to go to the Wal-Mart and purchase some pre-fab spoons than carve them himself.
