	02 Jun: Thursday: Travel, Sightseeing, Dinner (46 images in 7 chapters) On Thursday, Isabelle, Gunnar and me drove to Unteruhldingen, where we met up with every body else. Later in the afternoon, we went to see the Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen and its stilt houses, before we sat down for dinner with friends and family who'd already arrived.
	03 Jun: Friday morning: Preparing (40 images in 1 chapters) Before we headed to the civil registry ("Standesamt") situated in the old train staion of Unteruhldingen, we all gathered on the hotel's front terrace. The last pictures of Jan and Ingrid before they're legally married!
	03 Jun: The official part at the civil registry office (39 images in 3 chapters) In the nice speach the "Standesbeamtin" gave we learned that for marriage, two people are most important: The woman, and her mother:-) After the official part, we went outside to have pictures taken.
	03 Jun: Lunch break: Coffee and a walk (31 images in 3 chapters) After the official part was over, we walked the two minutes back over to the hotel, and enjoyed a buffet and coffee.
	03 Jun: Church wedding - on a boat (69 images in 4 chapters) Later in the afternoon and after everyone gathered up and met up to get on the boat for the religious wedding. A pleasure boat temporarily transformed to a "church" - the ceremony going a more "traditional" way with Ingrid and her father walking in, the wedding song, the priest, and exchanging the rings after saying "I will". The boat ride went on for about two hours through the Untersee of Lake constance, past Überlingen and Mainau island.
	03 Jun: The evening - feast, games and dancing (62 images in 8 chapters) At 7:30, the first dish of the six course menu was served. As the evening continued, more courses were served, we played games, danced, laughed, ate and drank. The night ended roughly around 4 o'clock in the morning.

Jan's bachelor party: Evening

We met up in the evening to go out to a restaurant in Durlach, the Alte Schmiede. After enjoying local specialties and some good talks, we took the tram back to Karlsruhe and went to the Kap, where we spent the rest of the evening.

Jan's bachelor party: Day

Basti, Gunnar, Frank, Jan, Ruben and me started out at Karlsruhe at 11:00 in the morning, taking the local train to a small town along the Landau - Pirmasens route called Birkweiler. There, we visited a local winery, Weingut Kleinmann. After a wine tasting there, we started hiking up towards Trifels Castle, enjoying a brunch and a view over the Rhine valley (and some more wine) inbetween.
