Captain's Blog Stardate: 0909200
So its been a while since the last post and I have actually done and learned a whole lot. Because of that fact I will have to post in two parts. This first part I will talk about my last weekend. I attended a German wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The two getting married were actually friends of my hosts (Britte and Jens) and the ceremony was a combination of a baptism for their new child and the actual wedding. It was a Catholic wedding and relatively small. Above is one of the pictures of the church from the outside. The whole ceremony was began with the "Throne Room And Finale" from the movie Star Wars played on the organ. This of course was the greatest beginning to a wedding ever and I will forever respect Chrsitoph and Uli (the Couple) for their great taste. Afterwards came many games, drinks, and great food. I was honored because I got to play a couple of songs (Mandolin Style) for the couple. As a special not I wore my Wild Wild West tie that Jackie loves so much and it was a big hit with the Germans. All and all it was a time to be remembered and I am forever grateful that I got to observe that special day.

Hi Reggie, As I read of your great experience in witnessing the baptism/wedding ceremony, my heart was pounding really hard with excitement of course. I wished I would have been there with you to witness the "Star Wars" style wedding. Also, you should know my face lite up with a huge smile as you described your tie :-)) Way to go Jackie for picking the tie. The picture of the church looks awesome! Looking forward to more updates.
Take Care, Love Mom
TAG Reggie!
Es geht Dir gut, NA?! Wie schmeckt d' Dunkel Bier?!
Ha! I haven't spoken German in tooooooo long. We are glad to hear that you have overcome the "death stare." Here in Alaska we are trying to overcome the fanatical Republicans- we are still working on it. Nick has been called a "Muffin" by his boss- meaning Hippie. What for? you ask- Using Hemp chapstick. Good thing we bought a Ford and not a Subaru is all I have to say.
We have found some excellant Alaskan beer that we would like to consume with you some day. Who knows how long we will be here, though. They are trying to get us to build a home- the cash flow isn't THAT good. We will see. We do have moose in our backyard which is pretty cool. We will share pics as soon as we can ditch the dial-up and get some cable. Lots of love from both Nick and I. Mach's Gut and Viel Spass-
Brandy and Nick
Das ist Geil Brandy!!! Ich Freut mich dass ihr so viel Spass habaen könnt.
