This is more of a personal post, but I will try to add some generic advice for people attending a German Wedding.
Tanbay has many many cousins, this one (on the left) is called Timo:
We were lucky enough to be able to attend his wedding to Carina. The only real difference I found between their wedding and an English wedding (apart from that everyone spoke German) was what was worn.
In the morning, for the church service we wore smart casual:
And in the evening for the sit down meal and disko we dressed smart
The morning church service took place in this cute little church:
There's a fire engine outside because Timo is a volunteer. There weren't any fires. Keine Sorge.
As far as I could tell, the service was the same as an English one, except in German.
They had a choir at the back who serenaded the newlyweds, it was a lovely service.
The evening part was my favourite though, we had a sit down meal and a disko and later on a buffet.
I love a good buffet.
They also lifted up the couple, I'm not really sure why.
Their first dance was in a candlelit circle, which was lovely.
All in all it was a fun and romantic wedding! Germans certainly know how to party, or at least these ones did.
