So here's the thing. Apparently, when you are a man in Germany, you have to get married before you turn 30. This is mandatory for some reason. For your bachelor party, you then have to walk around the city selling some sort of bizarre service. One time, I saw a groom to be dressed as a giant human ipod who was selling songs. For a Euro, he would have to sing a song you selected for a handy song menu he carried. One of his buddies would accompany the singing on a small plastic ukelele.
It was - and I think this goes without saying - just delightful.
Now, if you are a German man, and you fail to get married by your thirtieth birthday, you have to dress up like a super hero and clean trash off the steps of the town hall.
I can't say I understand it, but that is exactly what is happening in the pictures here. You may think, dear English speaking readers, that I have made this up, but I am not. Come to Germany and you will see these events taking place. :)
