<\/p>\n

Maik and Stefanie have decided for a handfasting in the great outdoors. Groom Maik has left no stone unturned in advance and went all out to prepare for a
\nromantic reception at the forest edge for his Stefanie.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stefanie ensures a surprise for her part, when she comes riding to the ceremony place on a black horse. Flanked by her two bridesmaids, the
\nthree ladies arrive on their horses for the wedding party.<\/p>\n

The mystical ambience of our superstructure, which especially affects in the middle of nature, quickly creates the right atmosphere for Stefanie’s and
\nMaik’s marriage. This isn\u2019t even harmed by the changing weather. When “Liebe ist” sounds on the harp, the tears and the raindrops flow
\nsimultaneously.<\/p>\n

The couple asks for the blessing of the ancient gods. And so the gods have heard their vows, their companionship will last forever. All those present witness the vow and cheer for the newlywed pair. The guests throw millet at the bridal couple (according to an old custom) and wish for wealth and material blessings to the common household in this way.<\/p>\n

The following celebration takes place in the specially erected marquee, on the wooden floor of which our medieval dances succeed very well. When
\nthe sun comes out in the evening then, dancing and laughing continues in this manner on the meadow. The subsequent flame celebration forms the successful
\nconclusion of Stefanie’s and Maik’s great day.<\/p>\n
