These two are the masters of the perfect personalised speech. Not something for everyone but I love it! Patrick and I haven't really talked about things in that much detail yet but I wish we were Apple people so we could steal these guys idea. I love it that much. I am off for the weekend but Mareike is going to be here Sunday evening and Monday and I am looking forward to having my Maid-of-Honour here with me to to do wedding things! Yay! Hope you have an awesome weekend!

And the winner is...
Oh, you think I'll tell you right away and not waffle on about how we made the choice, what made us choose against certain places and how we finally, after much, much thought we came to choose the place we did? Well, you think wrong. You got your hot drink of choice ready? Some nice music on in the background? Your reading glasses on? Then let's dive right in!
Firstly, thank you so much for all your suggestions and offers of help. They really made thinking of the Honeymoon fun and it's great to know we have such helpful friends (I'll remember that when planning the post-wedding clean-up team!).
Up first - the south of France. This was the first place we came up with and we thought long and hard about it. I went so far as to look for holiday homes in and around Carcassonne and a few places near there. Fazit: too expensive, and also somewhere we could go later and with a family. So for a Honeymoon? Non, merci!
Next serious contender - Malta. Hot, small, relaxing, where Paul was shipwrecked, English-speaking, blue water and lagoons. Yes, yes, yes. Touristy. And we just didn't get that excited. So, good-bye Malta.
The whole Honeymoon planning really started to annoy me after ruling out Malta. I just couldn't think of places for us to go that would fulfill my need to go somewhere we may never get to ever again and cheap, clean but cheap, as foreign as we can get but... are you getting the picture?
A few months ago, Patrick mentioned where his flatmate was going on her Honeymoon. It sounded adventurous, not too expensive, far away but still clean. Patrick seemed intrigued but I never really thought that it would be where we would end up.
About a month ago, I decided to just see where we could fly to from Bremen and see if we would be interested in any of those places. Two days later our flights were booked. Without much thought, as we would find out later. We, I am excited to share with you, will be flying to Morocco!

Morocco
Morocco!
Morocco!
Morocco!
You know when you write the same word over and over again and it starts looking really weird? That just happened. But hey, I am going with the most wonderful Patrick Honsberg to Morocco! That's Africa! Africa! Africa! Where we are going exactly and why is a post for another day. Frankly, I think my Honeymoon is more interesting for me than for the rest of you, but I want to read about the planning one day when I have more laundry than I ever dreamed possible and 3 screaming kids and then I'll say 'Look at me moan about the planning process. How little I knew.' and then I'll chuckle patronisingly at the me of the past as the kids cry and Patrick writes the sermon for Sunday and I, wait a minute, hey, me of the future! Less blog reading, more work you lazy mom!
Enough of this. It's late. Over and out.

... this video.
I am much to busy actually doing something for our wedding tonight to write loads so how about another video, eh? This one is from 'Life's Highlights' and I love their work. Especially this wedding. I want all my lady friends to pray for me before I walk down the aisle too, please!
I cried when I watched this. And giggled. And sighed. I'm a suck.
Oh, and you want to know what I am so busy doing? You want to know what I have cramps in my fingers from and what I am quite proud of and am just dying to show you? Well, I won't tell you and can't show you until the time is right, so you will just have to wait. Or ask and then I will crumble like a house of cards. Like I said, I'm a suck.

... watching strangers get married!
I watched the wedding. I watched all the coverage we could get in Germany. From 9-3. I watched it all. I held in my need for the washroom so I wouldn't miss a moment. I loved it. I loved seeing someone else's wedding and knowing that I didn't have to pay for it. I loved talking to Mareike and squealing with her when the Princes' left for the Abbey. That's also the only moment I shed a tear. It's also when I excitedly clapped, tapped on the screen, waved and repeatedly squealed 'You're getting married today, William!' I don't think he heard me though.
Like everyone else I was wondering what Kate was going to wear. I was hoping for something quite fashion-forward, something that would maybe be unexpected. It wasn't. It was beautiful, it screamed Grace Kelly, and the more I read about the idea behind it, the more I love it. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous, totally appropriate for her and a Royal Wedding, but it wasn't quite the 'gasp' I was hoping for. Her veil, on the other hand, took my breath away. Wa Wa Wee Wa. And her second dress is gorgeous. Really. I think I just expected something else from the fashion house that gave us this:
Now that would have been a 'wow'.
Want to know what my all time favourite thing about the wedding was? What I loved even more than the Queen's bright yellow outfit? More than the cartwheeling priest? More than Harry fooling around with William? THIS:
Every time I saw those trees, especially from above when you got a look at the whole Abbey, it took my breath away. Stunning. So beautiful. Perfect. I will go on about these trees to all and sundry for a while yet. So if you talk to me, you best steer away from this subject or I will not shut up.
Oh. I also thought the Bishop delivered the best sermon at a wedding I have ever heard. Well done, sir, well done.
If you haven't had quite enough of the wedding round up yet, click here to read a really good summary that I couldn't really agree with more.
Tomorrow it is on again with real wedding stuff. I can't wait to tell you all about our Honeymoon plans!
