Tina's wedding

My lovely friend, Tina got married recently to her long-time love, Frank. Congratulations!

I got to know Tina from my time teaching English at school and she's the only student with whom I kept in contact over the past few years! It's so nice to see how our friendship evolved from a student-teacher relationship to a that of a close friendship. :)

She had her bachelorette party in Strasbourg, France and I was invited to spend the weekend there. So that was where I had my first-ever weekend away from my little one.

Sammy was invited for both the solemnization ceremony as well as the dinner. He was such a champ and really enjoyed hanging out with all the adults. The only bummer was that since he didn't manage to nap properly in the afternoon, he was a bit cranky towards the evening and took a pretty long time to settle down to sleep.

Thank God for my lovely hubby who spent a lot of time walking around with him so that he would fall asleep in his stroller. We then found a snug little corner in a room next to the kitchen to park our stroller, while we continued to party until about 2-3am.

That's one thing I enjoy about weddings in Germany. Guests stay until way past midnight to dance and there's usually superb music. Tina engaged a house DJ from a club and he churned out a mixture of modern and hip hop music - amazing taste in music if I may say.

May God bless your union and watch over the both of you, Tina & Frank! ;) We had an absolutely incredible time at your wedding!

And now I pronounce you husband and wife
With the beautiful bride. Notice I was the only one in a long dress?
Love the idyllic location for the solemnization. A LOT of people at this wedding were VERY tall.
With the newly-weds. Guess what. I was still the shortest even though I stood one step higher!  Ok, I didn't wear heels, but still....  
 Mesmerizing ladies even with a pacifier in his mouth. Hah

A nap-deprived Sammy, who was obviously cranky cos of it
Sammy had his own seat!
Ohhh, so nice to see little Sammy having his own nametag

Lovely photos Pris - I like your maxi dress. Is it still quite cool there? Chat with you soon! <d

Elaine - Thanks hun! :) I don't know how much he weighs now. But he was about 10.5kg 2/3 months ago. So I'm guessing he's at least 11kg now.
