This year

For those of my friends that I haven't spoken to in a while, I will give a quick update of what has happened in the last year, or years respectively:

First, Jim and I got married on December 31st, 2006. I got fireworks on my wedding day at last (and I didn't have to pay for them either). I wandted a special date and since I never really liked New Years' Eve, because my expectations were never met, it was a great chance to turn the day into something special for the rest of my life. We got married at the Heinrich-Heine-Haus in Lüneburg (registry office) with our family and witnesses present. At night, we had a party with our family and best friends to celebrate.
Following the wedding at the registry office, we will have a white wedding on December 29th of this year. It will take place at the St. Michaelis-Church of Lüneburg. I can't wait - now that a lot of people have told us that they will spend the day with us, we are getting really excited and start to look forward to the party. I've got an appointment at a bridal shop next tuesday to look at and try on dresses.
