Germany 2015 - Day 3

Friday was Wedding Day!! The whole reason we flew over to Germany was for Kevin's sister Lenette's wedding to her fiance Christian. The legal ceremony was at the courthouse by the apartment in the morning, so we just walked over. It was all in German of course, but I am so grateful we got to be a part of it.

After the ceremony we walked to a nearby park to eat lunch and take pictures. The area was beautiful. 

Once again, my pictures are lacking. I wish I had taken a picture of the beautiful lunch spread one of Chris's sisters put together for all of  us. Europeans do lunch so much better than we do!

After pictures we headed over to the ceremony/reception venue. We had drinks and mingled while we waited for the ceremony to start.

The ceremony spot was simple and beautiful. There was a violinist and the gentleman performing the ceremony spoke in German and English so we could understand what was going on. Unfortunately the only picture I got was a poor quality image of Lenette walking down the aisle with her Dad. 

Following the ceremony we greeted the couple again and then moved into the reception portion of the evening. There were great drinks, delicious food and AMAZING desserts! The cake was not only beautiful, but seriously delicious. Lots of chocolate! Germans eat the wedding cake before dinner, which is something I think Americans should pick up on. After some delicious food there was a band, more dessert, some inspiring speeches and lots and lots of dancing. We all managed to stay til 1 am, which was pretty good considering we were all still a little jet-lagged. Sorry again for my lack of good pictures; especially of everyone else who was with us. I got too caught up in the moment and forgot. Also, I forgot how to take pictures of people other than my girls. Haha.

What a special day to be a part of!
