Here an overview over the major highlights of the wedding week (some of them not directly related to the wedding yet with somehow influential character regarding the general perception):
– one happily married couple
– one not really enthusiastically baptised but still happy toddler
-a lot of happy guests (at least that’s what we heard)
– one flight booked to the wrong part of Germany (you’d be surprised how much difference a single letter can make…)
– more than 1/3 guests with stomach flu (almost none of them on the wedding day itself!)
– ca 20 kilo less, split on several persons, due to stress and the previous point
– 1 busted car (total write-off) and a shaken mother
– one flooded basement
– more than 80 liters of sparkling water drank during two days
– 15 self-made cakes
– one new second cousin born during the service (but 600 km away)
– about 4000 pictures taken
– one emergency call in order to save two calves
– daily visits of the local open air bath
– one destroyed tie
– consumption record of the wedding evening: 17 glasses of coke (by my 15-year-old cousin who consequently rocked the dance floor until 1:30am)
– one wallet left behind
– a reservation in the hotel on our name for our silver wedding anniversary (don’t even ask…)
– many, many happy memories
Family (sigh…). The beauty about this list: the points are almost equally distributed between Karsten’s and my family. If that’s not a good match….

Reading this overview one might laugh though some of these events are not really funny:-). But the most important thing is, everybody is still alive and it was a fantastique wedding!!! This is what will be kept in mind!!
“Everybody is still alive” is indeed a desirable outcome for a wedding. However, I really like the one about the two saved calves… and I’m missing the statistics about how many grown-ups tried the horse ride intended to be for kids only 😀
