Wedding in Brombachtal

With Hendrik's assistance with the intercity trains, we arrived into Darmstadt main station late afternoon. We were greeted by a very excited Alina and were whisked away to Brombachtal where we would be staying for the next few days. Straight away we headed to the bar to hang out with Alina and Julien and watch Germany vs Spain in the Eurocup. Unfortunately after extra time Spain progressed over Germany - but it was a very good game.

The following day was the big day for Alina and Julien, and the morning weather looked to be perfection for the wedding. Unfortunately some clouds rolled in and by early afternoon it was a little wet and the ceremony was forced inside. The ceremony was beautiful with lots of stories, including Julien knowing exactly what he wanted when buying an engagement ring for Alina - "a circle one".

Afterwards there was mingling amongst the guests, drinks, photos, speeches - the usual wedding itinerary - and some of the friends even used AI to generate a song for Alina and Julien, which was played many times throughout the afternoon and evening. Dinner was one of the most amazing buffets we've seen, with woodfired BBQs cooking up a feast of salmon & beef amongst an amazing array of salads and other dishes. Nathan had to have a second plate so he could sample everything...

After dinner the party lights and DJ came out so we could hit the dancefloor. We eventually left around 2am, once we finally managed to sneak past Alina's sister who kept taking us back to the bar whenever we tried to leave. Many of the guests didn't leave until 4 or even 6am, so we got off pretty lightly!

We had a great time, and it was a great celebration of Alina and Julien! Czytaj więcej
