Tessa has a list of 1000 Things get, want it done in time, such as. all foreign- and wash interior walls of the house.

The longest journey to their wedding today has Yvis aunt, traveling to Queenstown from Birkenfeld, to be here, when our friends Roland and Yvi give the vows. The two have planned around just as long, as we continue our trip to New Zealand, so we miss this event and also very very sad. And even if we the great wedding (and above all the pie * * schluchtz) miss, we can not escape us, our "cultural contribution to make, and they also a very special gift to make here, on the other side of the Earth.

Our idea for the "cultural contribution" is based on the tradition, that every couple should have their own song, and since we do not know, whether their, Yvi and Roland, have you found a song, We broke our heads, what suits you and Tadah:
A song from one of my absolute favorite films seemed to create: A restaurant, a wedding of Julia Roberts best friend and already it begins: Probably the most beautiful wedding film song of all time – by Jere and I reinterpreted and backed with music video for you two to a wedding. Have fun!

And a gift, which consists not only of digital data, We also wanted to make you. Long as we pondered, what we here can do for you so far away.
