The lordly Manor Positz, whose history can be traced back to the 12th century, lies in the middle of the idyllic landscape of Thuringia.
\nVivien and Sebastian have selected this quaint place for their pagan marriage as well as their wedding celebrations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of their great day, Vivien and Sebastian enter the ceremonial place in beautiful sunshine and listen to the old myths and
\ntraditions together with family and friends. After the traditional ritually purification, the priestess connects bride and groom with the
\nwedding band, and the priests couple gives their blessing to the new bond.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, the wedding party goes on to the coffee-table and to playing pleasure with axe-throwing, crossbow-shooting, knife-throwing
\nand whip-cracking.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, after dinner, Eheleite.com asks for the dance. The wedding party enjoys itself with folk and historical dances and celebrates
\ncheerfully and hilarious until late into the night.<\/p>\n

Dear Vivien, dear Sebastian, it was a great pleasure for us to carry out your spiritual life-bond in this beautiful and historical place. We wish
\nyour small family all the best and much harmony!<\/p>\n
