wedding video links

Here are links to Martin's marvelous videos that he created for Marie and Egbert's wedding reception.  They were big hits.

The Party



A week after the wedding, we had a fun reception for Marie and Egbert in Klagenfurt (Villach).  We presented them with 1000 cranes and a wish of happiness and joy in their future lives together.

First we had some punch on the patio, then we went inside for some fun and food. . . 




The menu, the tables, the room.
















The cake -- yummy!  
We all had a good time.  CONGRATULATIONS,  Marie and Egbert!

Marie & Egbert's Big Weekend . . .

. . . started in Vienna with the mandatory civil marriage where they were surrounded by plenty of family and friends.  It happened to be the hottest day Vienna has seen in years -- 95 degrees F -- which for Austria is extremely hot!   There is no air conditioning far and wide anywhere, but we all tried hard to look fresh.



Roommates and friends.


The male young single adults weep at losing another single female -- when you snooze, you lose!


Sisters.


Our amateur shots of the happy couple while the real pro is photographing -- thanks, Katya, I'm sure the real photos will be beautiful!





Next day at the Frankfurt Temple they were sealed for time and all eternity.


Unfortunately, it was pouring with rain, so pics were limited to the covered entry way.


















Jackie, teach these two to do the kissy-face.

. . . and it's off to Scotland for the honeymoon.
