A hen party in Germany
Like in many other countries, Germans have a tradition of organizing hen and stag parties before the wedding. To organize this day properly, you need to take a few steps:
— decide on a date;
— hire a professional photographer;
— rent an apartment;
— rent a table at a restaurant or nightclub;
— make a list of expenses.
Typically, the bachelorette party is paid for by the bridesmaids and the bachelor party by the groom’s friends.
The wedding ceremony: features
The best time to get married in Germany is in the afternoon. When putting a ring on your beloved, do not put it on all the way through. It is believed that the one who «rings» the other half will be the main person in the family. It is good if it will be a man. If the ring falls during this, it is believed that this will bring bad luck. But there is an antidote to this. Trust the first friend to pierce the white thread of the ring. After that it should be burned.
When the newlyweds leave the registry office, candy and coins are thrown in front of them. Over their heads they throw millet and rice, which symbolize fertility. Coins are needed to have money in the family, and candy to make life sweet.
