Erik and Ariane's Wedding

Last weekend Chris and I went to his very good friends Erik and Ariane’s wedding. Which was in a small city in the south of Germany called Birkenau, we left Berlin on Sunday at 7 o’clock in the morning and after getting almost zero sleep the night before chris had to drive the six hour that took us to get there, because Sasha who was supposed to drive got sick the night before and wasn’t able to do it anymore.

It was great to see all the differences between a wedding in Colombia and one in Germany. At the beginning I was a little worried because I didn’t know what was the appropriate outfit to wear for a ceremony here and obviously as a traveler I don’t have many elegant clothes..., but it turn out to be very uncomplicated, which is kind of fun, because the important thing here is that all your friends are celebrating with you and not how good they look in their very expensive dresses. Although we looked very nice in the celebration wearing our nice outfits!

The party was very nice, so was the food and the best was to see all the happiness in Erik and Ariane’s face. Their friends did very nice and unusual things, which I found very cool, like for example a girl brought 52 postcard with the couple’s address and a date written on them already, so that every guest could take one and send it on the indicated day and this way the new couple would get on their first year of marriage one postcard from one of their friend every week.
Some other friends did a video with pictures from the very beginning of their relationship, which was 10 years ago, until now and somebody else printed a newspaper based on their whole relationship and then sold it to the guests to collect money for their honeymoon. That was really cool! It was a nice experience!
