Hamburg

The Hong Kong Crew are slowly getting married off. In actual fact, this could be the last wedding for some time bar some shot gun, baby in the oven type scenario. First time to Hamburg, plenty to look forward to. Oddly enough an old university friend now calls Hamburg home, which was a gem of a reason to reconnect and I forgot how much fun we used to have.



The wedding itself was held one hour out of Hamburg in the private estate of Tresbuttel. Hamburg was experiencing one of the hottest summers to date and midway through the ceremony one of the most spectacular storms hit exactly the moment the bride and groom were to proclaim their love for each other. It made for entertaining viewing, as the ceremony huddle under a large tree, while the wedding harmonist belted out "Hallelujah" the rain relented as the wedding party were drenched from head to toe. Within 20 minutes, the rain had passed, the wedding was abridge but the outcome was still the same. There were tears, and they were married. The last thing I remember was "the bride and groom are really upset, we have to have have a good time!".

I am very hungover, I think I had a good time.
