Kyle and I went to a wedding yesterday. Our friends Barrett and Beccy had their German wedding. It was in the most beautiful setting at a church on top of a hill overlooking the city Zeil am. Main. Because it is fall the colors were just beautiful. After the ceremony, which we attended, but understood none of, we went to the reception. There we really had a great time. Kyle had a good time driving there in the convoy honking his horn at everyone. At the reception we were surrounded by wonderful people, all of who spoke some English. Most of them spoke very good English, we were very impressed. So we enjoyed great company, good food, and German's have great wedding games. Our favorite was one we both participated in, it is like musical chairs, but when the music stops an object is shouted out and you must find it before you sit down. Examples are: belts, id cards, tie, purse, 2 euro coin, and the most interesting was toilet paper. There is only a small bathroom in the restaurant and about 11 people are running for it. The catch was after you got out, you had a penalty card, and on the cards were different jobs that you do for the bride and groom. Kyle has to wash their car and I get to take their dog for a walk. The winner is being taken out of dinner for the bride and groom. The wedding was at 3pm and we got home at midnight and the party was still going, we were told the party would go on for most of the night. Thank you Barrett and Beccy for letting us share in this special day with you both!
