Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education.

{32 Years ago on November 10}

It all went so fast; too fast!
But I guess that's not ONLY my problem.
HAPPY LOOKING AT MY NEW HUSBAND PIETER
We flew back two days before, from Atlanta, Georgia USA to Amsterdam, The Netherlands and by train with our dachshund Mauzie, to Horst aan de Maas in the South.
Here we are in the City hall of Horst aan de Maas.
The Registrar to the left, Pieter, me, brother Piet who was witness, his fiancé Rianne, Mom & Dad
The Registrar performing the Civil Wedding Ceremony.
Pieter's Mom to the left and my youngest brother Jan to the right, next to Rianne.
Pieter's eldest brother Thé, to the left and my brother Piet to the right; our two witnesses.
Some close friends were there as well, including dear friend Ellie who made these pictures and picked up Pieter's Mom at he nursing home.
White roses from Pieter's Goddaughter...
Pieter signing...
Me signing the BEST contract ever!
Done deal; for LIFE!
My brother Piet underwrites our Civil Matrimony 
Jet-lag... arrived the day before on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines from Atlanta to Amsterdam, but feeling HAPPY!
Pieter's brother Thé signing our Civil Matrimony.
Sad that the 3 loved ones to the left in this photo, are no longer with us...
Pieter's Mom, Thé and my Mom are all in heaven.
And now Dad too has joined them.
We both lost a lot of our hair over those 32 years but everything is still sealed inside our hearts. 
Fond memories with true happiness forever.
The Registrar hands us the Marriage License.
Mom & Dad congratulating us...
Dad kissing his eldest daughter...
Brother Piet's then fiancé Rianne, now happily married with two grown up children.
Sweet Sister-In-Law Dora who did provide a festive evening for us at her home.
My youngest brother Jan, who together with my brother Piet sat at Mom's death bed...
He was the only one that took a day off from work to be present.
The others blamed us for not having mailed out wedding invitations so they could get a paid day off from work!
Due to Pieter's ex not wanting to sign the divorce papers for half a year, we had no choice but to arrange things via the phone from the USA and fly back to our birth country The Netherlands.
Thank you sweet Dora for all you did for us during your life!
We will meet again in heaven and so happy that we had a chance to pamper them when they came to visit us in 1992...

  5. Gefeliceerd met jullie trouwdag !

  6. Gefeliciteerd met je trouwdag....en hierbij kan ik je ' verslaan' ;) Oeps, wij al 35 jaar...wat lang allemaal, maar gelukkig dat we het mee mogen maken toch? Wel een leu k idee trouwens om er eens een postje aan te wagen, ik bekijk wel eens de foto's en dan zien we er zo jong en kinderlijk uit....waar is de tijd gebleven...
    Bedankt voor je reactie op mijn verslagje over de klwpoeratie, ik heb het echt niet geschreven om als een ' bikkel of sterk '. Over te komen , en al helemaal niet als een 'poets' , ik heb alleen heel eerlijk opgeschreven wat ik voelde en meemaakte, en hoe ik er over dacht....en ik haat het om dingen uit handen te geven, vind dan dat ik er anderen ' mee lastig val', ze hebben het allemaal al druk genoeg, dus doe het dan liever zelf, al moet ik over iets van 5 minuten een heel uur doen.....ik houd echt wel rekening mee wat ik wel en niet kan, ik voel mijn lichaam perfect aan, dat hoor ik heel vaak in mijn omgeving, dus dan zal het ook wel....dat is ook iets wat je kunt leren als je het wilt....
    en inderdaad, als je daar in zo'n ziekenhuis bed ligt, wil het niet zeggen dat er iets met je verstand mis is...oooh het was een vreselijke arts, echt een arrogante kakker van de oude stempel...heb zo ook ooit eens een neuroloog gehad, was blij dat mijn man er toen niet bij was, bij dat consult, anders was die boos geworden denk ik...
    Wat fijn dat je ' daar op 1 persoons kamers ligt, dan kun je wel beter slapen...dat was het ergste voor mij in dat Zh, niet de operatie, niet de pijn ofzo, maar die slapeloze nachten....
    Pieter is wel een beetje ouder dan ik denk ik, dus dan is voor hem de revalidatie wel goed geweesd, ik hoefde niet perse van de dokter, omdat ik al ' zo veel ' gedaan en gelopen had, ik ben dus niet bang dat er weer wat ' gebeurd met met hart' en ibij navraag bij de buurman, bleek dat hwt hiwr alleen maar wat gezamelijk valspel is en een rondje hrtlopen en vooral veel fietsen op een hometrainer, dat fietsen doe ik dan liever zelf op mijn eigen fiets maar de supermarkt ofzo....of blaadjes ruimen in de tuin, dat is ook een goede ' oefening' voor de conditie ;) maar ik kan me voorstellen, dat je erg onzeker wordt als je een hartaanval gehad hebt en dan kun je daar revalideren onder begeleiding....dus bij Pieter was ook zijn conditie helemaal 0.0 geworden? En zijn spieren ' verdwenen'. Dat vond ik wel heel raar, dat dit zo was op die paar dagen...

Dearest Mariette; Happy Happy Anniversary to you both♡♡♡ And SO glad to see your wonderful day with many loved ones♪ It was 38 years on 10/31 for us (thanks for your sweet comment for me) It sure making us sentimental to see loved one no longer with us.
