Social Relationship: Marriages in Germany By: Camille Lopez

Difference between Germany and U.S Small towns “punish” single people over the age of 30 by cleaning the city hall. The civil wedding takes place 6 weeks before the actual marriage in the city hall. If the couple wants to have a church wedding then the civil wedding happens a week or a day before the wedding. Polterabend: friends and families break old porcelains in front of the bride and groom for good luck. The couple leaves the dinner AFTER the last guest leaves.

Polterabend

Traditions The engagement ring (gold band) is placed on the left hand ring finger before the marriage. It then goes on the right hand ring finger after the wedding. Couples get a wedding contract (similar to prenuptial agreement) called Heiratsvertrag. The bride doesn’t throw a bouquet of flowers to the bridesmaid. The bridesmaids have to dance around the bride (who’s blindfolded) and they’ll get picked. The newlyweds share a piece of bread for a future full of food. It’s seen as a bad luck for brides to take off their crowns before midnight.

Bread Sharing

Same-sex Marriage 2001: Life Partnership Act was passed by the German Parliament (take last names, allowed to be divorced, may support each other financially). 2004: Revised the act; can't testify each other, may apply for state pension, and allowed to adopt biological children). Both parties have to be 18 years old or older to be wed (parental supervision is needed if they're 14 to 17 years old). Non Germans may apply for citizenship if they're getting married to a German citizen. Still goes through the process of civil marriage.
