Polterabend / Eve of wedding party

After we got married yesterday at the registry office we partied with all our friends and neighbours from Offenbach. Polterabend is a special party where you throw porcelain to wish the couple luck, read more about Polterabend at wikipedia ...

Kerstin's Made of Honour, Jasmin, and Fabian, her boyfriend.

We got a love dumpster from the city council. It is specially made for such occasions.

6 strong boys and one strong woman who leads the team.

My best man followed the advice to throw the china into the love dumpster.

Not everybody followed my advice ...

A lot of family friends came around to wish us the best.

You had to watch out that you didn't get hit by flying UFOs

The Love Dumpster

My dad took care of every piece which was too big and wouldn't have fitted into the love dumpster.

After a while we started to clean up (that is actually our job on a Polterabend), not everybody supported us, thanks Aaron.

Done, for now.

Family Reichenbach showed up and took part in trashing china.

The canadians had a good time.

Family Dahlheimer, the parents of Tanja and Nina.

A big surprise showed up ...

After a while I figured out what will happen and I got pretty nervous, the nice speech of Uli didn't help me to relax so.

Luckily the truck was carrying only one plate and one cup.

After I saw that there was only one plate and one cup in I relaxed quite a bit.

:-)

We still had to clean a bit.

There was still more space in the Love Dumpster.

Alex Scherb, an old school mate of mine.

Björn brings more china, my mum organized that, thanks.

My mum was still surprised by the truck.

After all the smashing everybody was quite hungry.
