Polterabend is a German wedding custom in which guests break porcelain on the night before the wedding and the bride and groom clean it up! This is meant to bring luck to the couple's marriage.

The belief in the effectiveness of this custom is expressed by the old adage: "Shards bring luck" (German: Scherben bringen Glück). The expression is derived from a time when the word "shard" referred to the unbroken clay pots of pottery makers, and not just the broken pieces. It was said that a full jar was a lucky thing to have, therefore the expression "shards bring luck".

Here is Tina & Christian's Polterabend Hochzeit at their rehearsal dinner. Genießen! Enjoy!
