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!!

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 ;)

The best way to support us at this stage is a monetary contribution to our new flat!

Where shall I sleep?

We want you all to be with us and stay with us! Therefore, we have rented two big wonderful houses at a lake that sleep a total of 80 people - so round about all of you!

There is NO need to book your own accommodation! We will ask you for a contribution to cover the accommodation expenses and take care of the rest in the form of an all-inclusive weekend package (Fr-Sun). And: The first 30 people who are interested to stay until Monday will get the 3rd night for free on top!

Confirmation

Please let us know until 01.07.2010
- if you are coming
- how long you would like to stay (Fr-Sun or Fr-Mon)
- if you are coming alone or bringing your partner

Payment

Please send us the fee to the following account:

Starting TODAY and up to the 01.08.2010, we can offer you a fee of 80 Euro per person (as it facilitates the planning with our event partners immensely) for the entire weekend.
After that, the contribution may have to increase, so try to avoid that...
