Kidnapping the Bride is a pre-wedding custom in Germany.
Do you know: The groom usually pays for a drink for anyone who wants to help him find his bride.
Before the wedding, the friends of the bride and the groom kidnap the bride and the groom is expected to find her. The search for the bride begins in a local pub, where the groom gathers extra ‘man-power’ to help him locate his bride. This is done, by paying for the drink of anyone willing to join his search party.
