The Wedding

As I promised, here are some pictures from the wedding! I had only mine to choose from unfortunatly, but there were a bounch of good ones amongst them.


One happy bride, pre-wedding in front of Standesamt

And there are of course some guests:

These handsome men are Opa, Papa, Simon and Nikolai



Me and my aunt Conny



The exchanging of rings



Jörg, his daughter Laura (confusing to have somebody that has just the same name as you, with the deletion of one letter only!) and Patricia (or Tanti :P)



Father and daughter



Here you can see Laura's dress, it was a fluffy thing where some rose leafs where in between the fluff. Also Tanti's dress is so pretty!



Me and the bride



It was raining cats and dogs, and you can see that somebody wasn't too keen on it.



But they were still up for a kiss. And let's face it, the umbrella just completed the picture!

Some details:

The bride's flowers


The car


The bride's ring. The groom's is just the same with the opposite combination of colours


And yes, one happy couple also ;)



The first place after Standesamt. Champangebuffet at a lovely restaurant. The guest didn't mind the rain, since the place was nice. And good food, nams.



The bride with her siblings and dad. I love this pic!



And these two got married last year!



The second location was just around the corner from the apartment/hotel building I mentioned yesterday. There we had cake, and later on a 3 course buffet. (Weddings are all about the food or how was it?)



My handsome brothers got to entertain me



This was such a cool idea; costumized M&M's .You can order them or just look at it on this homepage



The cutting of the cake.

There were about 35 people attending the wedding, even though I haven't got any pictures of them.
At one moment we took a group photo. Since I am short (even though I try not to think about it) I had to stand up front. So Laura stood beside me, and at one point (note she is 11, just like my little sis) she poked me and asked:
"How old are you anyway?"
"22"
"Oh Gott!"
was the only reply I got. And that was about the first and last time she adressed me directly. Funny those moments :P

Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the gift table. They got a lot of "art" containing money as decorations. For example a Playmobile beach setting. Well Tanti told me she had to look quite a while for the money. She was digging around the sand, moved the couple in it... Then she found it in a tiny bucket where the money was stuffed in as little confetti. Or a cake of toilet paper where the money were the flowers. Nice ideas anyhow!

On Monday the newly weds left for their honeymoon. One week in Dubai in a fancy hotel. I hope they will show me some pics as soon as they have settled at home again :)
