August update!

Hi all, dear family friends and strangers visiting this blog accidentally...

Today we entered the "last month zone" and things are moving fast. While we are working hard to pull the last details together for the wedding, 2 bachelor's nights are being prepared in the background by expert teams...

Good news is, that all but 7 people have paid for their accommodation (so if you haven't, feel free to do so now, you are late!)

Apart from that, we have defined some ideas for wedding presents, please see below!!

Last thing to remember: Keep your fingers crossed and let's all hope for good weather, it would be so much more beautiful in the sun ;)

Make sure to come back one more time... shortly before the wedding weekend we will give you another update with the latest... including things to bring and maybe some pictures from the bachelor's nights ;))

Have a fantastic month

What kind of wedding presents shall I bring? Part II

In the early days of this blog we announced that the best way to support us would be a monetary gift to help us decorate our new flat.

Well, there is still no contract signed but our first own flat is coming a lot closer these days. Either way, we will need some items for sure, independent from where we finally will end up. So, to bring some color to the picture as promised, please find below 4 of the dreams we have for our new home and which we will be able to realize with your help.

We hope you can identify at least one of these as something you want to contribute to. Please feel free to let us know with your present which one you like most - and we hereby invite you to come visit us as soon as we have these 4 little dreams in place. We would like you all to sign the item you chose... so we will have to collect your signatures during your future visits at our new home ;)))

1. A couch / chair combination from Innovation called "Split back". A very nice couch for any living room, super comfortable, elegant and surprisingly flexible.
2. A new TV. Most people will know what I mean. There is no concrete model or brand chosen yet, since the new LED technology is developing fast and prices are dropping daily. But it will be a nice one ;)

3. A lamp. Again, straight forward, yet difficult. We will get a nice big lamp for the space above the dinner table. Similar to the one above.

4. Last but not least - for the men (no offense). An Australian style grill master x burner gas BBQ. Eventually we hope to have a nice terrace or little garden, which we will need for our new BBQ ;)

Y algo azul - Wedding quilt in blue

July update... with some exciting news!!!!

While we are trying to use the emotional time during the world cup to collect money for accommodation from you (till August 1st) - we thought it would be nice to make you do something fun as well.

We will create a "wedding quilt" after the wedding. A wedding quilt is a piece of patch work, that basically consists of several pieces of cloth stitched together (see above). To make this a long lasting memory we would like all of you to bring a piece of cloth that:

1) is easy to work with (e.g. tea towel, pillow case, t-shirt...)

2) has a special meaning (i.e. some connection we can remember. E.g. a checked blue and white tea towel has no special meaning to most of us. But if Martin brings one and says, its meant in a symbolic way for the Bavarian flag, we will always remember it as Martin´s - et voila!)

3) is not too big (20x20cm is plenty)

4) is somewhat BLUE (a total random mix of things usually doesn't look well together, so as a common theme, we chose blue...)

5) can or most likely will be used - but should be washed/clean ;)

Well, the final design will be made afterwards, but we are sure it's gonna be great!!

What's the latest news?

1) Read all the posts please! Some might not be on the first page...

2) Let's see if actually some people read this and make this website a little more interactive... in order to give our DJ's a little idea of what you'd like to listen to, please submit your personal top 5 favorite songs of all time as a comment to this post (you can now choses anonymous setting, if you dont have a google account...)

!! special thanks from DJ W, who otherwise would have played MC Hammer all night long...

Why are we getting married?

Because we love each other, support each other, need each other, complement each other, find each other funny, understand each other, want each other... and sooo much more each other... but there will be plenty of time to talk about that in September.

The important thing here is, that we want to share this moment of love and happiness with you... so please find below everything you need to know to make our wedding an unforgettable weekend for all of us -> THIS INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, so please help us and provide feedback and come back once a month or so to check for updates!!

Kati and I got engaged on December 20th, 2009 on the summit of Mount Ossa, 1617m, the highest mountain of Tasmania in Australia. The picture was taken a couple of minutes after Kati stopped crying tears of joy (I assume) - so about half an hour after I proposed ;)
