<\/p>\n

A forest marriage in the surroundings of Berlin was chosen by Katja and Michael, to commemorate the first anniversary of their register office wedding. Our pagan marriage<\/strong> offered the dignified framework for this purpose. In front of all friends and family members, Katja and Michael promised loyalty and mutual assistance once again. We were very surprised to come across such an expert audience. The guests attentively listened to our lecture about the background of a pagan marriage and of the pagan mythology in general.<\/p>\n

The sons Maurice and Tristan also give their consent to this (now as well) in front of the old gods contracted connection and lay their hands on the mutual bond of the parents. According to an old pagan custom all guests pelt the bridal couple with millet, to wish material welfare and financial blessing for the two of them.<\/p>\n

Right after having some coffee there were some technical archery instructions, and young and old alike practiced aiming and appropriate handling with bow and arrow. Even many of the ladies were curios and tested their accuracy in firing one or two shots. A temporary rain shower couldn\u2019t scare us, and after the dark clouds were gone, eheleite.com asked to come onto the green dance floor for popular folk dances<\/em>. The grass and forest floor were an excellent dance floor, and also the warlike looking men had to step in and accompanied the ladies on the formal dance.<\/p>\n

A wedding in Berlin<\/strong> is a real home game for us as well, and therefore we always enjoy organising a beautiful festivity right on the doorstep with a Berlin couple. We had been in contact with Katja and Michael for more than a year and met a couple of times to discuss the present day. It was always very pleasant to talk to you and to plan and organise this day together with you. We will miss you two a lot, but we are in good cheer that Katja and Michael will ever walk through their shared life confident and happy.<\/p>\n
