Such an emotional and happy wedding celebration!
Tuija and Klaus got married in Bavaria.
See some well-thought details here.
The rings.
Well, I did not really understand every word
as the lady who did the ceremony spoke this local dialect:
Bavarian.
Little present from the township for the newly wed.
Nobody told her about Tuija's colour wish?
Even the bubbly bottles were chosen by the favourite colour
of the bride: turquoise.
You can find more of it in Jacques Weindepot.
Well, it's quite hard to decorate Finnish specialities turquoise,
here home made "karjalanpiirakka" with salmon.
Here again, bluish turquoise!
And look at the pretty table decoration.
Waldhaus at Deininger Weiher.
Such a perfect choice for a summer wedding.
Even in the collection of party gadget box
the right colour could be found.
And the ballooooooons! JUMP!
Hm ... the wedding party games ...
here the Bavarian "Wadenerkennung"
where the blinded bride has to find the groom
by touching all these optional calves.
Was geschieht beim Wadenraten ?
Dieses lustige Spiel eignet sich besonders für den späteren Abend,
wenn die Stimmung der Hochzeitsgesellschaft bereits ausgelassen ist.
Hier muss der Bräutigam seine geliebte Braut aus allen anwesenden Hochzeitsgästen
bzw. denen, die sich bereit erklären am Spiel teilzunehmen, erkennen.
None of the guys had turquoise socks on.
Editor's comment.
The cake(s). And other sweets.
So much to eat.
Here we burn the calories with the Finnish LETKIS!
The steps of Letkajenkka are like the steps of Bunny Hop,
a novelty dance from the 1950s. It has been proposed
that exchange students returning from the United States to Finland
would have imported the steps of the Bunny Hop to Finland,
as they had seen them on the TV show Bandstand. (Wikipedia)
Wedding bingo.
Floating candles with matching colours.
Give-aways.
Marja, the mother of the bride, had been creative,
such nice little packages with anecdotes and Finnish sweets.
"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."
Mark Twain
"Amor con amor se paga"
.... from Portugal actually ...
(Love you pay with love, and everything else with money.)
I may post this pic as it was also published in the facebook.
In one day with more than 300 likes!
Thank you, KIITOS, Tuija and Klaus for the wonderful wedding.
After partying it was so cool to chill at the Wörthsee.
This dog race must be the most popular one at the time being,
we know at least four dog owners with waterdogs,
either Italian or Spanish ...

Thanks to you, too, for letting us enjoy Bavarian country living.
