The guests showed up in large numbers to congratulate Cora and Bernd. In Niendorf an der Stecknitz, right before M\u00f6lln, family, friends and guests were present. On the village square, under Irminsul and May tree, Bernd and Cora’s dream came true.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

150 guests and 21 of us form the very impressive setting for one of the largest wedding ceremonies<\/em> that we have ever hosted. A number of choirs (Cora is a very musical assessed bride), musicians, chimney sweeper colleagues and us from eheleite.com of course gave our best to arrange the great day of the bridal couple worthy. Mayor Friedhelm Wenck also appeared in medieval clothes<\/em> and mingled with the guests. When we proceeded to the ceremony then, the sun broke through the clouds, making the fairground and the bride shine resplendendly, still more spectators had gathered, who pursued the action from quite a distance. The whole village was invited; whoever wanted to come was welcome to do so.<\/p>\n

During the pagan ceremony<\/strong> Cora and Bernd promised mutual loyalty. Since both were already married, Cora’s children Asb\u00f6rn and Leif and of course Bernd’s son Sven gave their approval for their mother’s resp. their father’s new bond of matrimony. The priest asked the children if they wanted to do that – and as a sign of their commitment they laid their hands on the bond of the parents.<\/p>\n

Bernd’s chimney sweeper colleagues waited as signs of good luck at the bride arch then, and all the guests threw their best wishes in the form of millet towards the couple.<\/p>\n

There was dancing, laughing, singing, eating and making music. And when the bridal couple and their guests withdrew into the rooms of the village community center, the sun declined below the horizon, this was far from being over yet… If Northern Germans celebrate and get in the mood, things are really heating up!<\/p>\n

We from eheleite.com witnessed a wonderful day in the Duchy of Lauenburg and would love to come back into the North!<\/p>\n
