Recently I had a chance to attend yet another
German wedding in Chemnitz,
East Germany. This
time it was the marriage of Yvo (son of my project manager Torsten) and Jule. This
marriage was quite different from the marriage which I witnessed in Northern Germany. I could smell the fragrance of Sachsen’s
culture in the wedding. As usual, the event was very well organized to the core
with interesting games, talks, presentations etc. Yvo and Jule are relatively
young at the age of 22 to go for a marriage in Germany society but if they have
found their love, why not.
Its worth mentioning about one interesting game
which happened in the wedding. The bride was asked to sit in the chair and
aunts of the bridegroom tore the wedding shirt of the bridegroom in to several
pieces. Jule was totally shocked to see that because no body wants to have this
punishment on a wedding day. But the real drama is, it’s not actually the
wedding shirt which was torn in to pieces, it was simply other cheap dress
which looked like the wedding dress was torn in to pieces. I could see a big
sense of relief on the face of Jule after this drama.
The wedding took place in a nice cosy hotel
with excellent dishes and deserts which was followed by a big party and dancing
for the whole night. Thanks to Yvo and Jule who invited us for this wonderful
occasion and of course the friendship of Torsten and Angela which I will always
cherish to the core at any time.
Cheers,
