This weekend we drove four hours to Arnstadt in Thuringen to celebrate our lovely friends' wedding. If I'm honest, I was dreading it - four hour drive, hotel with two little kids, a full on wedding day with said kids. I couldn't have been more wrong.
These two put a lot of pressure on themselves to provide their guests with a fun day of activities.
After a beautiful ceremony, in which they were married by the same registrar who married the groom's parents, there was a group photo and a delicious lunch.
After lunch we broke into two groups for a guided tour of the town. One group had a Russian translator for the bride's family and friends.
Arnstadt is actually the hometown of the composer Johann Sebastian Bach. He worked as an organist in the above church. There are also links to Martin Luther. The tour was really interesting.
After a chance to change we drove up a mountain for a treasure hunt. We were split into groups and we were with another young family with an easy route.
When we found our treasure, we let Isabella 'dig' it up; she was over the moon. It was fun and the weather was glorious all day.
After another quick change, we drove to the reception for some traditional fun, food and dancing.
It was a wonderful day for a wonderful couple.
