You need to get the official wedding where you sign first then you can have the church wedding in Germany! Hahah and it’s expensive omg…. My friend is spending almost 30.000€ and then you have to spend almost over a 100€ as a single person for the food and catering so you basically pay it back 🤡😆

  • A more traditional thing than bachelor or bachelorette party, would be a Polterabend, this party is celebrated by the couple together, the guest bring old plates, cups, mugs or similar stuff, and during the evening they smash it, an the bridal couple sweep up the fragments for good luck, and it should them prepaire to always work together as married people.

    • Yes, I was thinking that too! Bachelorette party is a very American thing to me, that just got adopted here, like Halloween. My parents back in the eighties had a three day wedding in Germany - Polterabend on the first day, Church and food on the second day and then coffee with the aunts on the third day. Polterabend is also very good to invite people who you like but are maybe a bit too removed to have them at the main wedding, e.g. if you are part of a club or a choir or an orchestra.

    • Agreed. Polterabend is the traditional German thing. And the kidnapping of the bride on the wedding day. That's during the party after the ceremony. the bride gets kidnapped by some friends without the husband noticing. He (usually with the help of his best man) then has to search for her in the coffeeshops, bars or pubs near the wedding location, and finally has to buy her freedom by either paying for the drinks or performing a task.

  • My husband (Vietnamese) and I (American) had a simultaneously very traditional and very non-traditional wedding, from both Vietnamese and American standards. We got married in a mass at our Catholic church (my husband became Catholic before the wedding), and we had our reception at a local restaurant with an outdoor garden. We had a small wedding in terms of guests with just close family and a few friends. Neither of us wanted to even have a bridesmaids or groomsmen, but our church told us we had to at least have a best man and maid of honor to act as the official witnesses to the wedding and sign our legal marriage license as witnesses. So we each chose our closest friends for those roles. Then for the reception itself, we didn't have any dancing or music besides the music from the restaurant. But the food and drinks were amazing, and everyone had a fund time just hanging out and talking. We also set up some board games for people to play at tables. We also had cookies instead of cake since neither of us wanted cake, haha. The best part of the reception was that we had a Fujifilm instant camera for guests to take pictures, so we ended up with a lot of very fun candid photos to remember the evening. We only had a few flower arrangements in the church, and I made some small decorations myself for the reception. There are a lot more details I could share, but ultimately my point is to share that weddings can come in all shapes and sizes. Just do what you want!

  • You forgot something very very traditional.. It's called "Polterabend". In many areas it's often a very big event you actually can invite the whole town to, or at least many people. Usually there is drinks and maybe some small bbq, nothing fancy, nothing too expensive. It's usually outside and people bring old porcelain, like old plates and.. Smash them.. In the floor. It's supposed to be lucky. The couple has to clean it up then with a broom. Sometimes it's A LOT. This is being done sometime before the wedding.

  • Uyen-My friend in Thailand married an American. The Thai wedding became a comedy. The Bhuddist priests gave the bride the day using bride n groom’s birthdates. All the guests arrived from all over the world to Thailand. All of a sudden the Priests realized that when they set the date, they used the groom’s date as if he was born in Thailand NOT the US which of course was a day earlier than Thai time! They redid it and said they had to wait 3 weeks. With guests from all over, that couldn’t happen so the Priests found a lucky number day so the wedding was only delayed 2 days! So be sure when you give the fortune teller his day of birth give them the day it would be in Vietnam!

"Trauzeugen" aka best man/matron of honor yes, but otherwise, there's flower children and the parents of the couple, and that's it with the special roles.

  • In the USA traditionally the bride's family pays for everything (except the rehearsal dinner, groom's family takes care of that). Also the honeymoon is totally a thing and yes you leave right after the wedding party is over (and yes it is very stressful to pack for a vacation and prepare for your wedding at the same time, but it is nice to spend the first few days as a married couple having fun on vacation).

  • Here in Australia, they have the wedding ceremony say around 11am, then the couple go away to take photos and then the reservation/party starts around 5pm. Guests can go home or find something to do in between. Can't really do photos before the day, because the groom isn't supposed to see the dress before the wedding. If you don't care about that, then I actually think it's a great idea to do them before.

  • I’m Navajo married to a German. We both agree and did our pictures before our engagement party but… NOT our weeding, like goobers. We should’ve done it like our engagement party cuz it took almost 2 hours for pics. At least everyone went to the reception and started eating snacks or they’d have left, lol. So smart Uyen!

  • actually the bachelor(ette) parties also came to germany from elsewhere (probably the states, let's be honest). my parents' generation still had a "polterabend" where you invite a bunch of people to your house the day before the wedding and smash porcelain bc "shards bring luck"

  • Omg a topic i can sympathize with. Me and my husband are both Vietnamese living in the US and even us had culture shock and arguments cause our preference were more Western lol it’s true our wedding is more for our parents too, but seeing how hard they worked for it, im glad i agreed to go with a big wedding cause they were so happy lol i’ll share some personal tips chi as our style and preferences dont really fit the standard there so make sure you vet your vendor carefully. They love to get overseas customers but some dont have good customer service. I had problems with my dress and it stressed me out. Make sure you get what you want and prepare to walk away! We also had our wedding photoshoot outdoor and my friends said that’s a very western thing to do cause it’s expensive and people prefer studio photoshoot BUT i love my photos where i went to a sandune, a hill, the ocean and they were beautiful. My photographer specialize on outdoor photography and i think German finance would really like if you guys have time and can splurge a bit. Vietnam outdoor sceneries are super pretty We fought during the wedding. Cause it was so stressful but we made it and i know you guys will make it through. So happy and excited for you!

  • Trauzeuge are the people that are there in church and / or with your at the state kind of marriage. They actively sign that they legally witnessed your marriage. So the correct translation would be "witnesses".

    • Yes, exactly. When I was my friend's Trauzeugin, I had to sign the catholic marriage certificate thing at the church altar, I think? I also organised a bachelorette thing for her, but that was not the main thing.

  • "Life is worth living again" 😆 As far as leaving immediately for the honeymoon, Americans _do_ sometimes do that, but I always felt like you do about it. My wedding was quite short, and I made us a reservation at a nice hotel for that night. We stopped at our favorite sushi place after the wedding (while in our suit and gown still! lol), then had a nice time at the hotel. A week later, we went to a different state for the weekend to see different museums and parks for our honeymoon. It was really nice, and the whole wedding was barely over $1000, including the nice hotel and the honeymoon weekend.

  • In Canada at least, the other purpose for the maid of honour and best man is to also sign the marriage license as witnesses, along with the bride and groom's signatures. Idk if that might be the same in Germany? They also commonly play a big part in planning the bachelor/bachelorette party. We have a unique tradition in my province called a social, which is basically a big party to fundraise for the wedding. There's entry tickets, a raffle, drinks cost $2. But the food is free, usually chips on every table and then what we call "social food" - basically bread, cheese, deli meats, pickles etc. Maybe even some perogies with cheese and potato. Ive been to a couple where they had pizza, but then you cant meat shoulder someone (put a piece of deli meat on their shoulder to see how long until they notice lol). Congrats to you both!

    • Yes, in Germany they can sign the license as well. They are actually called „Trauzeuge“ and „Trauzeugin“, which means „witness to the wedding“, which I guess in former times was a very important role. Nowadays it is optional to have the Trauzeugen sign the papers, from a legal perspective the role is not necessary.

  • I love the idea of having the whole day dedicated to taking the wedding pictures. That sounds like it would be relatively stress free. Plus you would not keep the guests waiting. I had to wait 3 hours in sweltering humid weather between the ceremony and reception. My boyfriend and i were so miserable that we promised that if we ever desided to marry, we'd atlest have a buffet and some sort of entertainment going. And air conditioning if it is the summer.

  • It’s really nice to see your two cultures meshing into one another. I’m in the same boat, my fiancé is not familiar let alone someone of my race and culture. We want a wedding that reflects the both of our worlds becoming one. I’m hoping my parents can accept this, they have little regard to what we want. I’ve been crying a lot over the stress. But, my fiancé has been supportive and understanding, and that helps a lot.

  • In Eastern Germany there’s a tradition where the guests make a sort of mini obstacle course for the bride and groom when leaving the church or courthouse- at bare minimum, they have to cut a hole in a sheet and step through it and saw a log in half, but sometimes they have to do a bunch more stuff like solve puzzles together. At least, I assume it’s only an East Germany thing, I’ve never heard of it anywhere else.

  • As someone from the US, I can tell you that it is very common to leave the wedding and go straight to the honeymoon. You will pack in advance and it is the role of the wedding party (ie bridesmaids/groomsmen) to make sure that your luggage is put in the car when they leave. Because many weddings end late at night, most of the time you spend the night in a hotel near the venue but then the next day, you start your honeymoon so you do not go home after the wedding.
