Brides Around The World – Germany

And, what do you think one sees at a wedding in Germany?

Baumstamm sagen is a tradition that’s popular in southern Germany and rural areas that involves cutting a log.

Newly married couples are expected to work together with a two-handled long saw to cut through a log while wedding guests cheer them on.

The ritual has great meaning, representing the first obstacle the couple will face, as well as equality in the marriage since both partners play an equal part.

Yes! Great idea!
