The couple chose a first look to get the jitters out of the way, before sharing their vows at the end of the aisle. Unique to Thorben’s German culture, the two chose to do a Unity Ceremony where they poured a special "Radler." This was a mix of American Dr. Pepper and German Beer in a German Bier Stein that represented each of their cultures blending into one as they each took a sip.
