“Polterabend is a German wedding custom in which, on the night before the wedding, the guests break porcelain to bring luck to the couple’s marriage. (From Wikipedia) Sorry, but I don’t have any reason to smash porcelain.

Plus, traditionally on Polterabend the groom celebrates the last night in which he is “free” and unmarried. That’s just old sexist thinking.” Story credit: Quora / Christina Rauscher
