Ceramic pots, not glass, are broken by family and friends in the belief to exorcise evil spirits. Then the night ends with burning the groom's pants or the bride's bra to prove the end of celibacy.]]> 2021-10-06 05:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/221410821/avxwh4ovzd7papcv/wish/1795483226 The Henna Night 221410821 https://padlet.com/221410821/avxwh4ovzd7papcv/wish/1795484989 In Saudi Arabia, there is (The Henna Night) or (The Farewell Night) in which the bride’s friends and family gather in a traditional festive atmosphere, they put henna on her hand, then there are four girls who raise a cover over the bride while she is sitting and traditional songs are sung (often differ from family to family) and then after that Henna is applied to the bride's family and friends.]]> 2021-10-06 05:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/221410821/avxwh4ovzd7papcv/wish/1795484989 (kidnapping the bride) 221410821 https://padlet.com/221410821/avxwh4ovzd7papcv/wish/1795550244 In Germany, the bride is kidnapped after midnight before the wedding, and this was an old and widespread tradition in Germany, then the groom must know where the bride is, and the kidnapping is often done by the groom's friends or neighbors.
Whereas in Saudi Arabia, the groom can never see the bride before marriage. I know some brides don't see their fiancé for a whole month.

There is a very big difference between a German and Saudi marriage in terms of food, as the Germans have a very traditional and at the same time very glorious dinner.
Dinner should be on a formal table instead of a buffet, they have a traditional habit of serving toast, green soup by friends, also family and friends make rather funny shows and moves during dinner, Germans never dance until after the last plate of dinner it's a difference Big between us and them because we dance a day before the wedding date to week after.
