Our 73th wedding leads us to the mansion at Samow, where we take the marriage vows from Christiane and Peter in bright sunshine. Friends and family \u2013 and certainly us from eheleite.com \u2013 witness the promise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Could a more romantic place than Samow exist for a wedding? The beautiful bride, whom is being rowed to the ceremony place by boat, only allows one answer for this question.<\/p>\n

Likewise the beguiling scent of blooming lilacs, the concert of the frogs and the floating chestnut blossoms make this marriage to an outstanding event in close touch with nature. None of those present will forget the moment, when the bride’s father passes the sword to the groom and the bridal couple praises eternal companionship to each other in the presence of the flame.<\/p>\n

The band Gampelspil<\/a> creates a unique atmosphere with medieval tunes. Even with our medieval dancing Gampelspiel splashes out and turns their rounds together with us and the guests on the Northern German dancefloor. Finally the couple itself picks up the microphone and sings a specially rehearsed medieval popular melody.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the sun has disappeared behind the mansion of Samow, and so we call for the flame ceremony. All those present eagerly listen to the mythological stories and to the four musicians of Gampelspil, who still volunteer some songs in the concluding firelight. Many thanks to all of the guests, who make this day unforgettable with their cheerfulness during celebration and dancing.<\/p>\n
