I got back into Den Haag late last night after having a wonderful time at the wedding of my friends Nicole and Jens. I stayed with Christian and his lovely girlfriend Rebecca, who showed me around and made me feel so completely welcome. This was the first wedding I had been to in Germany, and while it was pretty much the same affair as in America, the civil ceremony took place earlier in the day in a fantastic old Schloss, with the reception taking place that evening. The party was absolutely fantastic - champagne and beer flowing (Detmolder Pils above!) and a dj that played everything imaginable (I was definitely on the dance floor for Bloc Party). Christian's brother Julian was nice enough to put up with my novice waltz. Nicole was an utterly elegant bride, and somehow managed to look beautiful even at 5 a.m. when the whole thing was finally over.
