Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Diamonds for engagement/wedding rings are not (yet) popular in Germany.
Usually we have wedding bands only.
Recently it is becoming more and more popular for couples to design and make their own band rings at a jeweler.
But we are catching up, I fear. From all the US wedding movies younger people are picking up
- the habit of handing over the lady from father to husband at the altar, (we use to walk into church together)
- the bridal shower or lunch,
- the bachelor party and / or hen night
(instead of these we have a low key evening party one or 2 days before the wedding for family and friends and close colleagues, as the after wedding party is often quite small.)
