I think that's about it. I've finally managed to post everything I wanted to post about the trip to Germany (only a week after I returned - I'll do better next time). If anything needs to be added, corrected or clarified, please let me know. I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog as much as I've enjoyed creating it. This won't be the last I post here - so check back periodically.
And now for a bit of editorial comment.
When I found out that Paul and Katrin would be getting married, I promised myself that I would do whatever it took to make it to the wedding in Germany (as long as it wasn't scheduled for, say, April 12). I had no idea how the wedding itself would come together - whether there would be ceremonies in Germany, the USA, or both. I wanted to do this not only because it was the wedding of close friends, but also because it promised to be a one-of-a-kind cultural experience that the average traveler just cannot get.
This trip delivered in a big way on its considerable promise.
The wedding and reception, of course, were outstanding. The extras, like the bachelor party on Wednesday night and Polterabend, were pleasant additional surprises. I am thankful for the great hospitality, and patience with my limited German, provided by Paul, Katrin, their families, and all of the locals.
I have been to many weddings - for family, friends, and business acquaintances. Some large, some small - some have been more enjoyable than others.
I can safely say that this was one of the best weddings I've ever attended.
Take care.
