Steve and Andi: Poltrabend
I'm back... :)
So... a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a part of the "day before" festivities/BBQ for Steve and Andi. They held a very special event at Andi's parents' home in the desert. The event is called a Poltrabend and is a pre-wedding German tradition where family and friends come together to eat, drink and celebrate the coming together of the happy couple and watch them perform one very special tradition. What's the tradition, you ask? Well, each guest brings a piece of pottery which the couple will break (getting out some of that pre-wedding anxiety!). The key, though, is not in the breaking of the pottery (though the broken pieces are supposed to bring the couple good luck) but, instead, it is in cleaning up the broken pieces... together, symbolizing that nothing will be broken in their house again.
It was a really fabulous day and event and I can't wait to share the wedding pictures from the day after... Andi looked simply beautiful... you'll have to wait and see... coming soon... :)
