The trip to the hair dresser was interesting and successful and all the clothes arrived safely for the dress ups. At the Rathouse we had music from 2 guitarists, a non English speaking mayor performing the ceremony and a very happy couple. The ceremony was short and sincere and then it was off to the reception centre – high on a hill overlooking the vineyards. The food was superb and beautifully presented and the tables were adorned with clear glass vases and 5 different varieties of white flowers. (dozens of bunches!). Just magic!
Germans play games at weddings and at one stage the bride was wearing her beautiful long white dress and very large bright blue flippers while she broke balloons containing money! The wedding was at 1:30, we left the reception at about 11 and the last guests departed at 5 am.
Sunday saw us floating along the Rhine, castle watching and meeting up with family and friends for dinner. It has been an amazing time in Ruddesheim. Stuttgart – here we come.
