Consensual Bridal kidnapping happens also in North Germany. Its like a pub crawl under pretense
Scherben bringen Glück!
Our courthouse was in Schloss Phillipsruhe and it was amazing. We had to wear booties over our shoes to protect the floors. We took our wedding photos on the beautiful grounds.😊
It’s almost the same in Belgium. + Mothers bring their son to the altar, fathers their daughter.
I wore Dirndl on my wedding day at the Rathaus ❤
I thought that throwing rice is now out-of-fashion because the rice is bad for the birds who may eat it, not necessarily because of "food waste".
Do Germans normally propose?
I have been to two German weddings. One very posh and the other one less posh, but still not cheap. The first was at the court house, followed by a lunch at fancy outdoor restaurant and the celebration in a castle with around 200 guests, dinner and dancing with a live band. Apart from the court, there was none of those traditions featured here. For the second, I did not see them at the court house, just church and then the reception another day in a very large restaurant with music and a DJ plus around 150 guests. Again, I did not see any of these traditions there either. Maybe those traditions are very local or are not longer followed.
What a hot little spinner,,,,
Same sex marriage should be banned.
I was invited to a JGA party and did not understand if it's a misspelling, or mistake. Later on, I understood it's the Bachelorette Party. Thanks for the informative and fun content 🙂👌
🙂😀👍👍👍👍🔥👍👍👍👍
Throwing rice is done in Indian Wedding Ceremonies

…as if weddings aren't a weird tradition all by themselves. Sorry to my bros who fall for this tool of social control.
Wait…so weddings rings are worn on the right hand??? Why didn’t my grandmother do this?? I love this idea….and explains why I’ve never felt right wearing a ring on the left hand!

I really like the different content and enjoyable videos on this channel❤️ Good job, Hannah!
Good job Hannah

Germans just realize, it doesn't make any difference to have a marriage certifcate or not, except for taxes.
People just move together in the same appartment, may have kids, and no marriage is necessary.
Unless you got some religious burdon, who declares this shameful.
Damn it man your smile!!!!!!!!
Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Treu ihr sein fur alle Tage? …… nein

Good explanation of why Germans have a low IQ and EQ.Can see it in past as well as present
Ich habe meine Deutsche Hochzeitsfeier diesen Jahr. Es freut mich, um diese Video zu schauen. 🤩
But as Asian, I would like to say that, throwing rice at the wedding is not a tradition for all Asian countries. 😂
It’s out of topic, but I love Hannah’s nail colors 😃
How c(ommon are inter-racial relationships in Germany? Greater than 50% ? )
could it be that the divorce rate is decreased coz the marriage rate is ALSO decreased?
For real! Where is Rachel??? We want answers!!!
05:40 'the bride is kidnapping' – whom? In German schools the passive voice is usually taught in the 4th year of learning English. Maybe he missed that part. Very often Germans don't know what to do with the -ing form of the verb.
Awesome!
Trauzeuge… there is a difference ..and it's not Maid of Honor/Best Man. The Trauzeuge (one word for both) is in general chosen "in Trust and Love". So, the groom can choose a woman as Trauzeuge and the bride can choose man. Trauzeugen have a job to do … not only to organize a party. There job is (chosen in Trust and Love) to step in, if things get hard in the marriage, if things are getting to wrong side of the "marriage-road". There job is it to give a hand if things get rocky.
