German Marriage Tradition- Working Together

I find it funny, but I guess it makes sense... yes, family takes a lot of dirty work and those who want to get involved have to be prepared.

Polterabend is a German pre-wedding tradition where friends and family come together for an informal party. While that may not seem odd, what they do at these parties certainly is. They break dishes, flowerpots, tiles, toilets, pretty much anything except glasses or mirrors. To symbolize working together through future difficulties, the bride and groom must clean everything up. - http://totallytop10.com/lifestyle/culture/top-10-strange-traditions
