Wiebke and Paul

You’ve Got Mail. March 25, 2007

Thank the Lord, we finally mailed the official invitations to our wedding!

Don’t forget to respond by April 6th so we know that you will be there to celebrate our Big Day with us. ;-)

Just send an email to us@wiebkeandpaul.com or call one of us (no, just call Wiebke).

There is not really an excuse if you can’t make it (well, ok, unless you’re miles away, just had a baby or travel epxenses would be eating up all your savings or all of the above).

In the sad event, you won’t be able to join us, please let us know, too.

And now tell us: What do you think about the postcard idea for our invitations? I’m so proud of Paul who spent so much time and energy designing the artwork!

A Whole Lotta Love… March 15, 2007

This is one of my favorite photos of Andrea, Philipp and their son Benjamin.

There is so much love and peace in this moment!

Paul and I are very happy for you. You’re in our thoughts.

Wedding Planning Sucks! March 7, 2007

I’m done with the wedding planning! Don’t wanna do it anymore…choosing flowers, booking 20 hotel rooms, searching for cheap decoration, invitations are totally delayed, still need to talk to the girl who will bake our wedding cake, someone needs to gather music and put on an iPod, who will be helping with the sound anyways, seating charts, dress fitting, forget getting in shape - no time for work out, scouting a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner, coordinating trips to Monterey, picking up the wedding bands, writing vows, figuring out the perfect hair style and make up, and so much more.

I’m really tired and completely overwhelmed by the things we still need to take care of. Being a bride and planning a wedding for 80 guests is a fulltime job!

If you are thinking about throwing a party, think twice. Maybe a destination wedding or getting hitched in Vegas is not such a bad thing???!!!

I’m gonna go to bed now and will pray for self-control, patience and a sound mind. Love conquers all, right? Lord, give me a clean heart and help me understand the blessings of being a bride and getting married.

Invitations sent to print! March 5, 2007

I know you guys are all anxiously waiting on some more information about the Big Day and it’s coming soon. We have just send the invitations out to print and will be shipping them out to you guys as soon as they come back in a week!

We’re really excited to have all of you guys there and love having you as a part of it all. This is a big milestone in our lives and we want you there! We’ve had a few more people step out and help us lately and we’re very grateful for that.

We have also got together a few details about the hotel and reception and we’ll get that information out to you guys as soon as possible.

By faith, we’re moving mountains.

Bin Maechtig Stolz… March 4, 2007

..auf die Kleine! Mein herzallerliebstes Schwesterlein wagt doch tatsaechlich den Sprung in die Selbstaendigkeit. Da wird sich Frau Merkel aber freuen, dass sich doch noch jemand doppelt anstrengt in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. ;-)

Meikchen, du bist fuer mich die Groesste! Ich habe ja immer gewusst, dass in dir eine Menge Mut, Tatendrang und Unternehmergeist steckt, aber mit deinen Neuigkeiten neulich hast du mich fast zum Heulen gebracht. Was waere ich jetzt gern bei dir, um dich feste zu druecken und dir zu zeigen, wie stolz ich auf dich bin.

Meine kleine Schwester ist auf dem Weg, ihr eigenes Unternehmen zu starten! Achja, und nebenbei wird noch mal schnell ein internationales Studium beendet und eine wundervolle Beziehung mit einem tollen Mann aufgebaut und gepflegt.

Beeindruckend, Schwesterchen, beeindruckend!

Sagte ich schon, dass ich maechtig stolz bin….?
