Most Bolivians prefer to get married in December, which is in the middle of their summer (since they are in the southern hemisphere, their seasons are opposite to the USA).  Dress appropriately; even though the average temperature in the summer is 72° F, those months also see a lot of rainfall. If the bride and groom are typical Bolivians, do not be surprised to hear they have lived together for up to three years prior to their wedding date and may already have children.  This is considered the norm, although it is frowned upon by those of a higher class. In Bolivia, the minimum age to get married is 21, although this can be lowered to 16 for a man and 14 for a woman, with the parents’ permission.  And in the US, we think those getting married in their early twenties are too young!

In Germany, there is a wedding tradition that is the day before the wedding, the family meets at the house of the bride and they break whatever piece of porcelain they can find. The breaking the porcelain is meant to represent good luck. They DO NOT break glass because the glass is meant to represent happiness.
After the porcelain is broken, the couple cleans up the porcelain which symbolizes the hardships marriage will bring about but with teamwork and patience, they will overcome.

Divorce and remarriage are fairly . They're  common and are slightly  common Monogamy is the formal rule, although an average man who can afford to set up a separate house with a younger woman. If they find out about the younger women, most wives find the idea disgusting and threatening to the marriage so that they  can get divorce.
