Who Is Thomas?!



... The Wedding II

For those who know my Bro this will be no surprise: "I´ll be there at 1 to 1:30." Half an hour later it´s 2:00 and he was there a bit after 3... in Jeans and Sweater! We decorated the church in the very last minutes and had to improvise, too.
No surprise, actually!



Beautiful, no?



I dunno what happened, but shortly before the ceremony started I heard my dear Bro telling the Pastor that, yes, he has a second name.
Because...

My first boyfriend´s name was Thomas. We liked to play a lot, but at 6 I always had to go home. So, I thought, when my Bro was born, we simply name him Thomas also and he sure will be as fun to be around with.
It must´ve been a very deep wish of mine - his second name is Thomas, and, sorry to all the Thomases in the world... but it´s more a collective term than a name (I have two in my team, btw, both guys are fun, too :-)!)
My Bro doesn´t like the name much.

The Pastor did a great job! Free speech mostly, he said their story sure was an adventure (it was!)... and when he came to the serious part...

You guess it!!! Bu-hahaha!!!

The Bride´s father very loud and astonished interrupted, "who is Thomas?!!!"

Oh, dear Bro, I´m sorry (kinda)! :-)))

My Mom´s Brothers and Sisters haven´t changed in the last 7 years, one of them, though, I haven´t seen in over 25 years... looks like my Brother! Weird! The name-sign my Bro took to the Airport wasn´t needed!

We had the yummiest food!

Ingo did the greatest job "selling" my prices, really, he surprised me a lot!!!

We had the job to get the pressies and left-over food the next day (or, let´s say in the morning) - was heaps!
Back in Braunschweig we "found" the Wedding-Soup still in Ingo´s car - 5 yummy liters!



And so much more my SIL packed:




Including the cake!!!
Though we both don´t like sweets, we certainly didn´t want to bring them bad luck and ate it!



Uhhh, so sweet....

Haha, whilst we were packing the food, SIL asked, "you want cutlery?" (Besteck)
Me.. ????

Not Besteck, she spoke of Gesteck, the bouquet!




It was a great day and night and those two looked so,so happy and beautiful!!! :-)

Life is goooooood!
