Under the eyes of The Great Elector, Nicole and Nils met on the Bielefeld Sparrenburg for a marriage according to old custom. After the register office appointment and all other formalities were done, it went on from the castle’s own register office chamber to the wedding ceremony.
The sun had reached its highest level and the dignified walls of the Sparrenburg barely casted a shadow at all. 350 years ago The Great Elector and his wife Luise Henriette of Orange resided here and two of their children were born here, too. The late medieval sovereign couple benevolently looked onto Nicole and Nils now and blessed their connection with plenty of sunshine and once again record temperatures of more than 35°C.
Via the Ceremony of Handfasting (the interconnection of the bridal couple with their hands) the tie is being knotted by the pair of priests and proclaimed to the whole world: Nils and Nicole are a married couple by their own will and the old gods give their blessing to it. The goddess Wör, who hears all oaths and vows, has heard the mutual oath and henceforth watches over its abidance.
On Sunday already, Nicole and Nils want to start their four-week honeymoon trip, but prior to that them and their guests wanted to shake a leg together. Since the medieval elector couple thereto provided the castle courtyard of the Sparrenburg, we could start a small court ball under the eyes of the Prussian-Orange sovereignties.
When all guests celebrated the elector, the bridal couple and the nice day then, eheleite.com bid their farewells to the guests, which were called to a collective medieval banquet by a bard. Dear Nicole and dear Nils: We wish you all the best for the future of the two of you and much joy on your journey through mutual life!
