The CountDown

The morning starts checking the weather; hour by hour. How hot, how much rain? Yesterday was almost a wash out, unnecessary plans cancelled. Seemed like everytime I left the apartment, rain. Chris reported Adliswill was getting rain and hail.

However, today is sunny, cool looks like a beautiful day. Mikki reports the Schnorf's are getting ready. She and hers are staying quiet in the apartment until they're on their way. Kil arrived last night. We're looking forward to a quick visit before he and Georgia return home tomorrow. Morgan's hotel owners said it was high season, they couldn't let their manager go, even for a night.

Later:

By law, couples complete the legalese

In the civil office. It's a smallish area so only family and two witnesses. The rest of us waited outside. 

The government house is directly left of the Fraumünster church. Friday's rain turned into a perfectly beautiful day.

Waiting

First came the family:

So begins a 13 hour party! We headed to the square for.a series of pics.

Then we were off to a 90 min tram ride thru the city of Zurich. Antje's sister and family provided endless champagne from the family's French vineyards as well as food. It was fun to watch the startled city people as we rolled thru the city streets.

Kevin and Larissa made the wine holders

The tram let us off in Wolleshofen. From there everyone rushed to their cars as we had an hour before the next party started. Chris imitated an Indy 500 driver, delivering us to the hotel (WITH AIRCONDITIONING !!! 🤗) 

By 4:30 party was in full swing. Champagne and wine were flowing.
