This video made me eager to attend a German wedding soon 😅
Definitely very fun!
Very good summary of your experiences. I assume for a wedding about 100-300 guests. For groom and bride often beginning in the early morning (hairs, wedding photo shooting) and ends at midnight after a long day of tasks as you mentioned. At midnight groom and bride going home to experiences mostly the last tasks (all rooms filled 100% with ballons or something else)
For sawing the trunk: originally it is done with a big manual saw - groom on one side, bride on the other, have to work as a team !
Yes I knew it is with a manual saw but couldn’t find any videos of that 😅 300 people wedding? That seems insanely big
