Esslingen
Esslingen is just outside of Stuttgart along the Neckar River. Vineyards cover the hills above the town. People can also climb up to a Hof on one hilltop via a long staircase or a somewhat steep path through some vineyards.
"Dressy casual" for the ceremony at the church...
The wedding was a full-Mass Catholic ceremony, and conducted partly in Latin and partly in German (with a few sentences here and there in English). The group who sang the hymns during the ceremony came all the way from Rome.
... Black-tie optional for the reception.
The dancing started off around 10pm with ballroom/swing, then went to "disco" from midnight until at least 3am.
