hochzietspiele

Hochzietspiele are a traditional part of German weddings.  Friends of the couple make-up games to 'test' the couple's strength and patience.  I'd never even heard of these games existing before last weekend but they were so much fun to watch.  First-up was cutting the love-heart out using only nail scissors and the second was cutting a piece of wood - old-fashioned symbols of building a life together.  Pretty silly, but so much fun!
