Two facts:
In Germany, you get a very nice tax break or reduction when you get married. And what I recently learnt is that if you marry in one calendar year, you automatically get back the whole year in tax, when you file your tax claim at year end, regardless of which month you got married. That's why Germany has quite a few weddings in the Winter time. :)
I lived in 3 different continents before I turned 7 years old.
Interesting the lengths people will go to just for a few bucks. I guess if the people really care about each other, than the extra money is just a nice bonus.
So you recently got married? Congratulations!(?) I’m in my second year of marriage. It’s sometimes difficult, but worth the work. The best advice we got from a friend, was “don’t try to win an argument. If you win, it means your married to a loser”
