{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.

{Miracle in Chile - the country where we both got married!}


This was such a GREAT MOMENT for having watched the life rescue of number 33; the GREAT LEADER of the Chilean miners.
By now, all the rescuers have also been hoisted back to surface...
President Sebastián Piñera, together with his wife Cécilia Morel, has shown the world to be a very warm and compassionate leader!
There were more viewers worldwide, than for the Olympics and they all got a great sense about family values by watching this unfold. A nation came together in prayer and in support!
For both of us, Chile is a very special country as we received our Matrimonial Blessings there.
In the south of Chile near Osorno.
With a Mapuche Indian couple as our witnesses...
 Padre Juan, a Capuchin Priest, blessed our rings and Pieter puts mine on here above.
And now you may kiss the bride...
Next day we did go from Mission of Cuinco near Osorno, to Puerto Montt. Padre Juan is pointing out the typical regional crafts of those Mapuche Indians.
From Puerto Montt (lower left corner) we drove to Puerto Varas and then we drove along Lago Llanquihue and Lago Todos Los Santos for some spectacular views of all the volcanoes. Just click on this image to enlarge.

For the viewer, behind us you can look into Argentina.
The great glaciated Mount Tronador peaks out to the left of Pieter...
Lake Todos los Santos, which is together with neighboring Lake Llanquihue - the second largest lake in Chile - the best known. Again Mount Tronador is visible.

The soil is old lava...
Here you see the Mount Osorno which is known world wide as a symbol of the local landscape, and is noted for its similar appearance to Mount Fuji.


Bye - bye Mount Osorno, bye Lago Llanquihue and Lago Todos los Santos, bye Chile...
