On 20 June 2015 Anika and Michael got married according to old way and custom. Eheleite.com had the great honor of being allowed to arrange the pagan ceremony<\/strong> and the flame ceremony in the evening for the bridal couple from Berlin. Beeskow Castle is located on a small Spree Island, not far from the outskirts of Berlin. At 13 o’clock already (when all the rain clouds had disappeared) the medieval pagan marriage ceremony began. As Anika and Michael stepped in front of our altar and everyone present rose up, the first pulled out their handkerchiefs from sheer emotions.<\/p>\n

After Anika and Michael had spoken the words of mutual loyalty and love, the children Michelle, Ronja, Leon and Nico expressed their approval of the parental covenant. Then it went on into the castle courtyard for food and drinks in medieval style. Vibes were ensured by the Irish Folk group St. Slainte. DJ Sven Budberg<\/a> also was one of the party again. When our medieval dances<\/strong> started later, we shook a leg together with the guests on the dance floor. A wedding without dancing is no real wedding after all.<\/p>\n

The worthy final of this beautiful day was formed by a torch dance, fireworks, and of course (how could it be any different on this day) a huge solstice fire spectacle<\/em>. As the bridal couple lit the runes and ancient myths and ways resounded by the fire, everybody was deeply moved by the wonderful atmosphere on this unique day. Dear Anika and dear Michael, we wish you and your family that you will always be so happy as you have been today.<\/p>\n
