"The most special VT-Meeting" Hannover Travelogue by Leipzig

Hannover Travel Guide: 859 reviews and 2,057 photos

While the Leipzig-Meeting in May Ulrike (nepalgoods) and her spouse Stephan invited me to attend their wedding. What a honor! On July 10th, right after my final exams, I jumped into my car and drove to Hannover. I arrived two hours later and were warmly welcomed.

July 11, the next morning. I woke up and saw everyone busy. After several cups of coffee we started to go to the regestry office. Guess what transportation we used! The subway! As you can imagine, we were the eye-catcher.

in front of the regestry office

We arrived at 8.00 am. The sun were shining, birgs were sining and even the bells were ringing. Isn't that a good sign?

Who was there:
of course, Ulrike (nepalgoods)
Irmela (cloghane)
Holger (chancay)
Susanne (sansi)
me, Christian (leipzig) :-)
and several friends and relatives

8.20 am. Ulrike, Stephan and Ulrike's sister, the witness of the mariage were registered and we could enter a small room for the ceremony. Everyone was excited!

The registrar (right) read out some very nice poems and then she started the most important question...

... we all rose and both said the right word: "Ja" (=yes)

Then both had to sign the wedding certificate.

Congratulation!!!!

In the late evening we went to Lake Maschsee, a big lake in the heart of Hannover, to watch the fireworks. It was made to celebrate a special event in town but we pretended it was only for us.
A great day has gone.

The next morning I had to leave. It has been the most exiting and most special VT-Meeting ever! Thank you Ulrike and Stephan. May your marriage last forever happily!

Bin bislang immer nur durch Hannover durchgefahren... Der Flohmarkt würde mich reizen!!! Hab von Leuten gehört, die mit der U-Bahn nicht klar kamen, das scheint aber weniger an der U-Bahn gelegen zu haben...

Kennst du dieses dicke Polyglott-Buch "Wo Deutschland am schoensten ist?" - darin ist Hannover nicht einmal erwaehnt...
