Last weekend I went to Germany for Ingrid & Dennis's wedding. It was a nice party and I talked a lot. I flew into Cologne on Friday night after work, arriving at 1AM at the hotel which was also a restaurant/pub. I decided to have one small nightcap beer at the bar, but unfortunately it turned into three... Not my fault, the two K�lsch ladies who forcefully acquainted me kept ordering rounds! They were 74 and 56, but you wouldn't have known! Mary reminded me of Lottie Huber - that type, so funny! She had lost her husband 2 weeks before but was determined to go on singing and dancing. It was about 3AM when I finally made it into bed -- not an ideal for a "fresh start" in the morning, but at least I got a taste of charming Cologne. Maickel whom
I didn't know - but who apparently still
remembered me from a New Year's
Eve party about 10 year ago - picked me up from
the station in Darmstadt.
I'm afraid he got more than his share of talk
from me that day because we
were stuck together for so long! At 2:30PM we
picked up Claudia from the
station (she had come all the way from Norderney
with a huge suitcase that
barely fit into the car ) and drove straight to
Seeheim-Jugenheim to the
church. Rainer, Ingrid's ex from years ago was
there, too, even though he
hadn't been invited to the party! I finally met
Pitti and Andreas's baby
daughter Annika, who's really very cute. She's
only 14 months and doesn't
speak yet, only "dah! dah!". She
seemed to like me and grabbed my hand --
spooky! LOL The church service was very customized but still very Catholic. I read the First Reading! Compared to Dennis's parents Ingrid's parents seem totally harmless by the way -- I now understand why he moved out as soon as possible! Ingrid is now called Baier -- which is the original spelling of Bayer, I learned. LOL The party
took place in Ober-Ramstadt in the Goldene Nudel
gallery which was
decorated quite lovely. There was coffee and
cake and later food and drink
and more food... the DJ was late because of the
football, but by the time
he arrived most people had started leaving which
was a bit unfortunate for
Ingrid and Dennis, I think. I tried to make up
for it by drinking the rest
of the champagne, dancing hard and bonding with
the DJ over Guesch Patti.
He was French, not Norwegian like Dennis had
claimed, LOL. Here are my "Lomo" quality impressions from the wedding party. The lack of wedding pictures is noticeable! LOL

I
still find all this
getting-married and having-kids business
rather astonishing. It's just
not for me. Vera caught the bridal bouquet and
Daniel caught the garter
belt! Very was flying high - she must be
the next in line, I only
hope Daniel is up for it! LOL But it's fine by me - the more people are having babies the less I need to have. ;-) It makes me wonder though what point there is for me to be in a relationship at all, if it's clearly "not leading anywhere"... |
