Polterabend - this is an informal (informal dress and food) party at the evening before the wedding where plates and dishes are smashed (the broken pieces are thought to bring good luck to the bride). The bride and groom have to clean up everything.
People carrying dishes out to the street and smashing them, and a young couple, turned out bride and groom (to be?) trying to keep them swept up. Apparently the custom is that all old dishes should be broken before the wedding, and the marriage will be excellent if the couple can keep up with the sweeping.
The other Saturday, we attended a polterabend, which one of Bernie´s colleague planning to get married.

i only got to attend one polterabend - it was fun when they start throwing those plates and cups. but it is not really good for the kids.. they find it too loud and they're afraid of the broken pieces, hehe
wow, daming plates yan! lol mukhang masaya nga pero matrabaho. ako din siguro, kung ikasal ulit :) 'yoko din gawin yan lalo na the evening before the wedding?
Yong "first night", nakakatawa 'no? punuin yong room ng balloons or sirain ang bed? he he he
dami din nilang tradition, parang tayo.
oh my goodness!! matablaw pud ang couple to be ug panilhig ana! wahahaha! good practice, ano, especially in Germany where helpers are not common. kinahanglan magtinabangay sa trabaho sa balay! di bah!!

this is what is nice when you have blogging friends across the border, we got to know the cultures and traditions in that other side of the world.

I've heard about this custom before and find it very interesting. Thanks for sharing these photos. Grabe, ang dami palang dapat linisin ng couple. Looks fun but I can imagine how tiring it is when the festivities are over.
