Dancing the night away

Paul & Katrin do the Schleiertanz under the wedding veil. At the end (provided the veil doesn't catch fire), the veil is brought down over the top of the couple and torn into pieces. The number of pieces is supposed to equal the number of children the couple is supposed to have.

As you can see, there was lots of dancing at the reception. I noticed that the German men were almost all excellent dancers. Apparently, ballroom dancing is taught in the German schools.
