Wedding Papers and Such Things

These last couple of weeks have been all about a wedding, which is to come up in our family very soon. And if you’d like to know what I’ve been kept busy with, lately, I can show you. It’s called a “wedding paper,” something very typical for weddings in Germany. Friends and family members contribute to this paper with stories from the couple’s past and fun articles, and it was my job to put the whole thing together. Today, we finally managed to submit the paper for printing, and now, all we need to do is, hope that it’s going to arrive on time.

Quiet Summer’s Eve

We’d decided to visit relatives who were vacationing at a nearby lake, and to spend a quiet summer  evening with them. And indeed, it was quiet. Very much, even. So quiet, in fact, that even the wind decided to take a break. That was nice for us, who just wanted to relax and enjoy some downtime together, walking along the shore. It wasn’t as nice, I assume, for those sailors out on the lake needing a breeze in order to be able to get back to the shore. And so, you see, whichever way you look at it: One man’s joy is another man’s sorrow. And for us, it was just a very quiet summer’s eve!
