I have no clue what it is made of or where it was made or by whom. If you know please email me and let me know.

It is the price to pay if you marry a German. And, for your sake, everyone drinks champagne, so you will not be the only one 'happy' :) There is no way you can escape the kidnapping, be assured.

His cousin was over there for 2 months and I considered asking her to pick us one up but decided against it! Didn't want to bother her! That's so awesome! I know there are a couple sites that sell it. Have you find a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner yet? If not maybe find one with a outdoor dining area and speak to the manager when you're booking and see if they will allow it? =) I am sooo jealous you guys have a Brautbecher from Germany or a chance at getting one!

I have a lot of German blood in me (but more Norwegian! lol), and I think it's pretty obvious based on my height and other stuffs. I remember my dad teaching me to count in German when I was itty bitty. My father is in Germany frequently for business, so perhaps he should pick us up something for the toast too! Awesome!

So glad you posted about these! I lived in Germany for 4 years as did the FI. Were were military brats, so this is one of the fun things that connects us. My parents are actually still there. My mom actually got me a Brautbecher years ago and I am SO PUMPED to use it! ...Along with the gold medal Eis Wein we picked up a few Christmases ago for our toast. Yum Yum!!! I will definitely be linking to these posts when I finally post on the blog about it. AHHHHH! So glad you posted about these! I lived in Germany for 4 years as did the FI.

Marzipan! We both love the Ritter Sport with marzipan. I really would like to do the Polterabend! We're having our rehearsal dinner at a restaurant, so I wonder where we'll actually do the breaking! (Or we could just scare everybody at the 'raunt. lol) And thanks! Let me know if you find out anything extra that's awesome. (Especially if it's from Hessen, because that's where P's from!) Mmmm!

Great series! The FI is half German and we have the same sentiments as you guys do. I'll have to sit down and read this thoroughly over the weekend. But ones I am considering is toasting with the Brautbecher; which I think is awesome bc the cup can also become a heirloom afterward. Have you looked into the Polterabend custom; it's basically breaking porcelain to bring luck to the marriage. I thought that might be kinda fun for after the rehearsal dinner! Or marzipan for favors because Germany is known for it (this one is from another bride's site bc her FI is German as well). Good Luck! And thanks for all the tips! Hiya!
