The registry office of Hagen gives couples a sheet before their wedding. It asks them to arrive about 20 minutes before the ceremony, and it asks the couple and their guests to be punctual. The reason is the next couple. In most cases further weddings follow, and every couple wants to keep its own time that day. Verspätungen verkürzen ansonsten leider Ihre eigentliche Zeitspanne der Trauung. Otherwise, lateness unfortunately shortens the time of your own ceremony.
