Actually if you look around Snopes you will find that anything that is impossible to verify is listed as such. There are many legends of which they freely say "We can't confirm or deny this".

Also if you look at the bottom of the article you'll see that they use many different sources. I'm much more inclined to believe their research and take all these silly "internet facts" with a grain of salt.
I agree that a lot of their facts are way more accurate. Just that this page, as well as many others offers little in the way of facts yet is passed off as . Royalty is their example for getting married, yet nothing is written or known about the facts in the email of the common poor person??!!! Yet they pass this off as fact used for debunking the email is what I am getting at. It is a pretty poor debunking, no pun intended.
