Lady Marmelade

Well, not that Lady Marmelade, I am one of another kind ;-)

For the coming Wedding I wanted to reprise the idea from my friend´s Wedding in August, to let the guests wrap up small servings of jam with a paper on which they leave a note for the Newlyweds before.

One of my colleagues has a card that enables him to buy at wholesale. He checked it out and said, there are 40 portions per package.
I said, ok, then bring me two packages, please, there´ll be 60 guests.
Which he did. Just.... not 40, but 100 per package!

See, here I sit with 200 small portions of marmelade - that is some kind of traffic jam, huh?
Anyone in for a sweet snack?



But, I guess I´m all set now. The money-shirts are a bit more colorful this time (naturally),



(hmmm, do I miss the good ole "Deutsche Mark" anymore? This is not as colorful, but does it, too!

Ingo made another "laundry rack" (we now slowly run out of chopsticks!):



(The "anchor" you see is a corn of rice with their names and the date of their marriage on it, put in a heart with red fluid)

Yes, also this one is wrapped up "childproof", cause people really do take it and shake it!



I have 12 cards for the 12 "winners" who will hopefully delight the Newlyweds the coming 12 months with divers functions each, now I only have to manage to find the right people for that!
Not much use if our Aunt from Switzerland would be a winner, or the Uncle from Mallorca...




The best comes here:
Ingo has something very special, too.

This is the invitation we got:



The word "Love" in many, many languages.

Here, right on top, you find the Wedding-Song Ingo mixed.
It is about Love, in many languages:
High (or standard) German, that´s what we speak.
Then German from the Middle Ages (well, those guys dress as Musketeer and Sutler when being with the Sehusa Musketiere (German).
Then Cologne Accent, that´s where my Bro studied.
Berlin-Accent, just kinda "cool", Swiss-German is part of it, too - I love it :-)

Please cross your fingers it´s not too cold.
I have the same dress I had in August!!!

Today I´m off work, I am to decorate the church with flowers. And I don´t wanna be stressed.

At 4 in the afternoon the serious part begins!

Oh, my. I haven´t seen my Mom´s Brothers and Sisters since my Dads funeral. That´s over 7 years now - will they have changed a lot? Hope they´re still fun to be around with!

Yes, around 7am... I have so much to do!
(Ingo made Pickled eggs for the team, now I have to get them safely there, too! And all the other stuff! Lucky me, the car isn´t parked too far away).

Oh, boy. My little Brother is a married Man!!!
