Now it’s early Monday morning, and my two grls are soundly asleep.

Yesterdays wedding was a hit, from ceremony to food and party. It took place outside in a very beautiful castle park. Brave people those two, to plan an outside event in this otherwise rainy part of Europe. But weather played along. Sunny and warm. First a nice ceremony, then the wedding cake. Seems to be a Dutch tradition to start with the cake. But why not? Then mingling and photo shooting, followed by yummy food from the bufé. Dance and games, including kidnapping of the bride. Everything very well organized and led by a professional crew.

Thanks’ a lot for a perfect and rememberable afternoon/evening. :-))))

Erwin’s family, who we met for the first time this weekend, was a very funny, friendly and nice bunch of people, even if the language barrier caused some problems and much laughter. However I made one huge mistake, I said that Dutch language sounds very similar to German. This is a NO GO, I understood this two seconds after finishing the sentence, and seeing their face expressions.  Like spitting in your palm before shaking hands. You just don’t do it. And I will not do it again. I hereby express my apologize to the whole Dutch nation.  I always thought that Holland had a very liberal and tolerant population, but there are obviously some fields for improvement. WWII must have hit this country hard… Football and weather are more non-controversial topics. Flowers and cheese are other popular subjects.

It was very educational, will bear it in mind for the next wedding with Dutchmen involved. This will take place next year according to latest information.
