Our trip: Part I - a German wedding

We started out in Germany. It was cold, it was rainy, but we were there for one of my best friend's wedding. And we were there to party. And party, we did. Til the very last night, at 4:30 am (a mere 2 hours before our train to Berlin. Not pretty.)

What we love about German weddings:

the warm welcome


they go over three days


cake and coffee before dinner

champagne on tap


being treated like royalty for being out-of-town guests

reuniting with old friends,


and awesome new friends


a mid-lake ceremony


the wedding BBQ...

the beautiful tent

prosecco and those hors d'oeuvres
the fresh air
crazy lights

the live opera singer
midnight fire show (scary but beautiful)
German speeches

and the most delicious white-chocolate icing wedding cake ever.
