Dear Colleen, Amy's Dad and the rest of Amy's Family!!
Here are some snapshots from Amy's Swiss wedding. Your presence was missed during the day and I know you would have loved to be here but I hope these photos give you a little sense of what it was like.
Amy looked beautiful, Daniel looked handsome. They make a stunning couple. The registry office went well, the translator was very helpful! After that we went to the reception venue and had an afternoon of appetisers.
I was very glad for your nephew being there with his wife and giving me English speaking people to talk to as well as the translator and his wife who are friends of Daniel's, and a few obliging Swiss-germans who practiced their English with me.
The venue was really beautiful, apparently goes back to the Romans! Although rain was forecast, the day was sunny with a few clouds. Anyway on to the photos!
The bridal bouquet has a spacial ring on it to make it easier to hold, when we were waiting for the translator at the registry office, Daniel was trying to show me how it work. The ring got stuck on my finger. Thankfully his brother was able to get it off with some soap. Embarrassing!
The beautiful bride!
My bouquet, really lovely with English roses and peonies (my favourites!)
Me all glammed up thanks to my lovely flatmate who insisted on running though the outfit, accessories and make up - at 11pm, an hour before I had to leave for the airport!
Table decorations were as stunning as always!
You can catch a glimpse of the old wall sticking out from the newer wall here. The reception was in the building on the right which has the 2 windows. It was lovely and cool in there!
A friend of theirs is an impressive piano player and even played a piece with two tennis balls in his right hand. Possibly my favourite bit was when he was the right hand was the girl and the left hand the boy and played what they sound like (needless to say the mens bits were shorted and had less tonal range (is that the right word? He spoke in Swiss-German so I didn't really get that bit!)
Anyway Amy and Daniel will be home to you soon and will have their second wedding, I am very sorry not to be able to make that one too when they make their vowels before you guys and before God. But I hope you will take some photos for me to enjoy!
With Love, from Evie
