John & Sonia´s Wedding – The Reid Rooms 12th August 2006

13 Aug

Yep, back again….


I mentioned a wedding earlier on. :-) Yessss……yesterday we gathered at the Reid Rooms in Essex for a special celebration. And what a celebration that has been! Let´s just forget about the good old English weather, which decided to be on the cold and wet side and focus on the happy couple : John and Sonia. :-)


The journey there was a bit of a mission, as it´s literally in the middle of nowhere, but we arrived with 5 spare minutes to the ceremony…Fiuuuuuu, that was a close one!


So we had: a great location, a over-grinning groom, a stunning bride, a bunch of friends and family and lots of booze, food and music. I’m sure the cocktail couldn’t have been any better. And, here we go with the first picture …..


John (doesn’t he look like the Cheshire Cat????) and Jo




One little shot I got of the happy couple, that’s the problem when you’re short…..everyone is taller than you and the only things you capture on camera are the wrong heads!!!!! :) Hopefully I’ll get some more in due time.




The guys from Urban. In line: Stu, Chris, Perry and Brandon




Chris and Hana




We had a little vase “accident” so the flowers had to be recycled….good solution, hey???




Paul & myself




Grooving Hana :)



After 4!!! chips and butties (apologies if I get the spelling wrong…) Paul still did not appear to have enough. May I remind the participants of this photo of the topic we were discussing at this point?? Hana, it actually continued all the way home in the cab….to the great amusement of the driver. Thank god were were drunk, otherwise it could have been very embarassing!!!!!!! Ha ha ha!!! Loved the chat guys!!!



Just got a last minute addition…..not that it has a lot to do with the wedding, but the picture was taken there. Ta daaaaaaa. Tine = rabbit. Have a laugh on me!!!



Düsseldor – 5th August 2006

13 Aug

GOOD MORNING!!!!


It´s Sunday morning, the sky has been gray most of the time and I´m cuddled up on the couch watching Big Brother (shame on me, I know!!!) and trying to recover from John & Sonias Wedding yesterday. It´s been busy busy busy as per usual, but the summer seems to have disappeared. What´s going on? It´s only August and yet the temperatures have dropped to 20C, I´m NOT liking this!!


Anyways…first things first. I went to Düsseldorf last weekend. Anna, one of our uni mates had the great patience to organise our 5th Gaduation Anniversary and who could make it gathered there on 5th August. Wolfi and myself left London at crazy-o-clock in the morning on Saturday and after Katha picked us up from the airport we had a good old catch up over 2 bottles of Prosecco at 11am in the morning. Just brilliant! Some of the gang met in town during the late afternoon, but Julia and myself joined them in the evening at a Spanish restaurant called “Picasso”. Lots of Tapas, catching up, the weird opera singer, Greta´s pull techniques, wine, beer and general drinks later we headed off to a bar in town.


This is Gitte and her husband. I hope I remember it correctly, but she´s 7 month pregnant with already one little fella at home. (I´ve seen the picture, he´s a cheeky one!!! :-) ) They arrived all the way from Denmark!!!








Here´a further selection taken at the Bar. It was soooooooo hot in there…..hello, ever heard of air conditioning???








It´s been a real fun night. Anna, thank you so much for organising this. I´m sure it wasn´t an easy task :-) A big hug to all attendees: Anna, Greta, Frede, Julia, Chris, Stefan, Tim, Katha, Klaus, Nicolai (arrived from Beligium), Wolfi, Gitte and her husband (I´m sorry I can´t remember your name). Let´s see what we come up for the 10 years!!!
