Coming back from Germany
Matthias and Silke are
married!
We made it! Almost everything went smoothly as
planned. With almost I mean only two things went
wrong:1. When we left here in Belgium the
annoying wheel noise I talked about in the previous post started again. But we
decided to go on to Brussels and, if the noise didn't stop by then, to turn
back. And yes... when we came to the ring-road of Brussels the noise suddenly
stopped and we didn't have any problem until 2 kilometers before Donzdorf (where
Matthias and Silke live).2. We took a wrong
turn to the left and got stuck with our car in the snow (about 15 centimeters
thick). The problem was that we couldn't turn back because the road was to small
there. So we had to drive backwards for over a
kilometer!The wedding was the next
day. First they had to take some photos (I assisted them and also took some
shots with Matthias' camera). Then everyone went to the town's hall where bride
and groom both said "yes, I do" (fortunately). Next to the town's hall there was
the restaurant - the food was terrific by the way! In the restaurant there was
another present waiting for us: they told everyone that they were going to have
a baby 'round July (2005)! Unfortunately the world rests on balances and about 1
hour after they got married someone called Matthias' mother to say that their
grandmother was passed away. They knew it was going to happen one of that days,
but they had hoped to see her once more after the
wedding.The trip back was ok - except
for the continuous rain - and I'm writing this post back home now. This is my
first friend that gets married and I wish both of them a pleasant marriage. I
already knew long before their wedding that they were made for each
other!
