{Wedding Elvira & Bob in 14th Century Castle}

As promised on January 15, in my post about Elvira my 1st and only Goddaughter here the promised post about the wedding of Elvira & Bob. That is part I of III, as the wedding lasted for two days... Today we take you to the Tiendschuur in Well. That is in Limburg, The Netherlands and it is a restored 14th-century medieval castle, which is in Well, The Netherlands. It also once used to be a Church. Tiendschuur in Well is only in Dutch but you can see the photos for getting an idea. Tithe Barn. That's what it was, to Pay Taxes, a Tenth Part! Okay, history explained, let's go to the WEDDING OF ELVIRA & BOB...
Elvira was a gorgeous looking bride and Bob a very handsome groom...
Today we get to view 'Het Huwelijk' The Marriage... 
There will be 2 more posts with the rest of their wedding.
A Lovely Couple in front of the home where Elvira grew up. 
Bob did officially arrive at the front door for the traditional 'aanbel moment'...
Elvira being escorted by a proud Dad...
The groom with his Mom...
From left to right: Elvira's sister-in-law (with me behind her); Pieter my husband; Elvira's maternal Grandma; Elvira's Mom (my dear Friend) Ellie; Elvira's Dad Mathieu.
On this side of the aisle Bob's Mom and his Dad with two sister-in-laws from Bob.
This gives also an overview of the Tiendschuur or Tithe Barn from Castle Well.
Exchange of rings...
Releasing of the white doves...
Making bubbles...
The Jaguar from Bob's boss...
Romantic setting at Castle Well...
Oh, the weather was perfect for both days; low 80s! This is Castle Well in the back of the driveway that  does cross the moat. To the right is the Tiendschuur.
Happy and dreamy Elvira & Bob on the lawn of Castle Well...
Tomorrow we will continue!
Hope you enjoyed it.

  1. Elvira is such a beautiful bride, Mariette. You must be proud of her. I realize it was a special experience for you and your husband to go back to the old country for the wedding. So glad you could be there. Looking forward to hearing more about the festivities. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
