Der Hochzeit

By the time the weekend was over I had stayed up both nights to see the sun rise, been to 2 beaches, watched one football game and played one football game, eaten 3 Fischbrotchen and met dozens of amazingly nice people. A lot of the 30 plus people made the comment of this being a perfect weekend, and it would be really difficult to argue with that opinion; food, wine, beer, music, dancing, lodgings, games, and even the weather, could not have been better. Daniel & Natascha's wedding ceremony was in Berlin-Kreuzberg. It was brief and friendly. This saved more time for the weekend getaway at the Ost-See.

At The Northern Coast of Germany I saw fields of poppies, lots of naked women at the beach, windmills, and the UNESCO designated heritage site: city of Wismar. If you read the history of Wismar at the given link, you will see that it was at one time under Swedish rule. This may be the region from where the name Espig comes from, my swedish last name with only German ancestry - but this is just a guess.

The video of the weekend features some snippets of time from the 3 days, sped up (naturally) and for the lack of a long enough mp3 to fit its 9 minutes, also features music from LCD Soundsystem yet again. So without furthe ado, thanks to Daniel and Natascha for taking care of all of our needs for the party, and sharing your friends and family with me! ***

*** I Recommend watching this video from the original you-tube link in full screen mode if possible as this embedded player plays it back slightly too darkly.
