WEDDING PART TWO

July 30, 2018

On to recap the next part of our unforgettable wedding weekend. If you missed part one you can read it here…

We started Friday night off we supper with almost everyone. A few couldnt make it but still the majority of people where there.

I was a little nervous how everybody would feel about us bringing them out there and making them spend a weekend with people they dont know but oh lord it turned out SO GOOD!! Like the absolutely best good haha. We did a lot of planning and preparing for this weekend and thought about what would be important to us and it fell into place. It ended up being this wonderful weekend where everybody felt included, welcomed, loved but also was a part of it and not “just” a guest. Albrecht and I had time to really catch up with people, which was so nice!!

One of my fondest memories are of ending Friday night around the fire, talking and singing songs.

Saturday morning was a lot of everything! We had breakfast together and it made this weekend extra special to share our meals together! We had the wedding at 3, so there was some time between breakfast and the wedding. And people did all sort of things. Some went to take a walk, some visited a big organic company close by, some stayed at the place and enjoyed some relaxed time and almost everyone pitched in at some point. Here are a few impressions…

Alex was the chef cook of the weekend. He managed everything regarding kitchen and cooking and you could aways ask him and he would have task for you. Without him the whole eating/cooking/sharing meals together would not have got half as smooth!

remember the paper flowers we made? They were a huge hit!!

To be continued…

I believe that one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself is time. Taking time to be more fully present. Your journey to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now.

Oprah

I‘ve been trying really hard to take that quote to heart lately. I get so caught up with the things ‚I need to do‘ and completely stopped questioning why I thought those were even important to me. So taking time for myself has been a real game changer lately. But life also happened 😉

I took a quick to Utrecht, Netherlands for a meeting, obviously not to get Spa Water 😀

It was a lot of traveling but its always fun to be in the Netherlands. Even if its just 3 hours.

WEDDING PART ONE

July 23, 2018

I have absolutely no idea how to recap our wedding weekend since it holds SO MANY wonderful memories and we are left with gazillion pictures but I will try. So here goes part one of I don´t know how many 😉

We started Thursday morning in Bonn, going to Stuttgart with two cars full of stuff. While we drove down, 3 of our friends started backing sheet cake in Stuttgart already and my sister did the same but at home. I´m telling you it was a whole thing getting ready for this weekend and it takes a village.

 Albrecht met with my best friend Janis in Öhringen to pick up all the food we had ordered for the weekend. It was a lot. It was Janis Mercedes Sprinter pretty much packed. 

It was glorious having that much yummy food but it was also kind of a lot 😀

I think we were like 11 people all doing stuff, preparing food, laughing and being so excited for this weekend to start. I wish I had more pictures of that evening. We ended up ordering Pizza and sitting on the floor sharing it and I felt so lucky in that moment to be surrounded by all these wonderful human beings!

One of the best things we did was order a at home manicure. We never did anything like it and were conviced it would cost a fortune but it didnt. We had the best time getting our nails done (while the boys continued cooking 😉 ), chatting and loving our time together!

We started Friday morning, still pretty sleepy and got things going. We didnt to pick up glasses we rented, prepare more food and most importantly fit everything, including us, into all the cars.

We had 5 cars and a trailer, 11 people and A TON of stuff and food. One car less and we would have been screwed.

We were playing tetris. I ended up pick 3 of the girls up at Birtes place where they stayed the night. Which made me drive in the opposite direction first before we were heading the same way everyone else was.

Things on that morning were not going according to plan so we were late to begin with and the four of us were the last car to leave. All 5 cars were texting to check in if there was any traffic and one by one everyone got stuck in traffic. And one by one everyone got through except us. The first car took 1,5 hours to get there – we took 3, 5 hours to get there.

Most of the time it looked like this.

We tried to make the most of it, ate some food we had in the car haha and cheered ourselve up that non of the guests would arrive early because they would be stuck in traffic too 😉

We pretty much arrived when the first guests were arriving too but all the other cars and people had arrived already and saved the day! It ended up all working out perfectly, it just took a minute to have everything sorted out. Luckily we are all used to working together and our circle of friends just knows how to get stuff done.

We finished off the day with supper with everyone, a speech by the priest and songs around a fire. More to come on that….

HELLO 🙂 🙂

The weeks leading up do the wedding at the end of June were hectic. Just pure madness. Now everything has slowed down and I´m loving it. It doesnt go without its challenges to get things done without having structure haha but I enjoy having lots of down time and the warm weather lately.

We got watercolors as a wedding gift and I´ve been putting it to use. I LOVE IT. Especially having different brushes and stuff. Definitely a wedding gift that will last a while <3

We have been loving the “feedback” postcards we got after our wedding. Nothing more sweet than being suprised by a beautiful postcard from sweet friends telling you how much they enjoyed the wedding!VIEW POST

Pain goes where I will notice it…

I had this epiphany last night of “ohh this is why I got headaches and not back pain/gut problems”. It really discouraging if you are trying to figure out why you have all this pain when someone goes “oh you must think too much”. Like what? that seems a little too easy. There are all […]

SOMEBODY TO MAKE IT BETTER

Janis and I had a beautiful long conversation about life and pain and how you sometimes just want somebody or something to come and fix the problem for you and take your pain away. If only the painkiller will take away my physical pain so I can get back to living my life. If only […]
