I got the change to go to a real finish wedding... we all know the weddings are in Germany or the US but Finland that’s special!
Ok I experienced the finish wedding as a mixture between the German and the US weddings its just like the golden middle.
So the church is more like the US version of a wedding. Its short (40min) and there is no worship like it would be in a German wedding. But the sisters of the bride sang a song so there was music.
The sermon was just the necessary things about marriage and LOVE and the basic stuff. It wasn’t that long. The priest was the only person to speak. The groom was waiting at the end of the aisle for his bride. The bride and groom were standing the whole time and only she got a ring. Not like in Germany where both get a ring.
AND NOW THE VERY BEST PART.... after the church... all people leave the church and then the bride and groom are coming out and guess what!! Everyone is throwing rice. When I heard that I got really excited because we don’t do that in Germany ( it is not allowed because birds who eat the rice will die because the rice bowed up in there stomachs, but anyway) That was so cooooool.
After the church they all drive to a Restaurant or another location where the food and the program are. So there is no honking by the way (in Germany everyone is honking with here horns during the ride to the restaurant).
Finish Wedding: food, program, cake
German Wedding: cake, program, food, more program, cake, more program
You see, German weddings are getting really long. So I really liked the finish wedding because it was everything that you need for a wedding but not too much.
There was music and a game and of cause a speech.
And we drove home after 8:00pm so we were not over tiered anyway I fell asleep in the car.
