Nottingham student, Adam E. Smith, is in training for the Nottingham Beer Festival 2005. His preparations have taken to him to Munich.
The lavish wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Theresa was held in Munich in 1810.
The guests enjoyed with horse-racing, shooting matches and a funfair but at that time no beer was served.
Yet somehow this celebration evolved into Oktoberfest, Munich's huge beer festival in September. Oktoberfest is known as the world largest festival and seven million guests visit the 31- hectare site. Revellers at Oktoberfest must reach the site early morning to get one of the 100,000 seats in a so-called 'beer tent.' Each of 14 tents are decorated with their distinctive decoration and music.
People enjoy drinking beer, listening and singing the music and chatting away to other drinkers. They repeat "Prost! Prost!" ("Cheers!") The party atmosphere continue through the afternoon and into the night.
