Hiya!
It has taken a while to get some wedding pics from Aus on the blog... there was a lot to do organising the 2nd wedding which has just happened... so it is time to start catching up! In Germany there are 2 parts to the marriage - the registry official bit, and then the church bit. We chose to do the Registry bit in Melbourne, at the end of an already planned 2 week holiday, on the 14th of January.

The dinner gang having a fine dinner at The Italian. The following day we would have an "informal" bbq at home for about 70 people.
The "Wedding Kugelhopf" - havent found anthing anywhere else like it - pastry sheets filled with thick chocolate butter - amazingly good and rich, from Aviv bakery in Glenhuntly. An old family favourite.

Keeping the kids entertained with Tom and Jerry, which meant our pre-prepared photo slideshow showing our life in Europe had to be sidelined.
Ralf - earning his trip by working at the spit roast
Detlef also earning his ticket, and desperately trying to tan by deliberately not wearing a hat
A successful introduction to the world of Cheezels!
