If you know me (and of course you know me, or you would’t be reading my website), knows of my love (OK, OK, some say obsession) with all things medieval. Well, today I got to combine 2 dreams in one – a wedding reception with my magic prince in a real 15th century castle
Assumburg Castle - my magic castle for the day
Its normal to take photo’s before your bridal reception, but I got the real medieval experience taking pictures on the castle roof. I got to scramble up narrow stairs with a long dress and 3 petticoats…I think I know now why there were so many maidens in the tower, because they could not climb down the tower with the long dresses!

My parents and Jeremy flew out to join us in the celebration, and of course Rob's immediate family. As well, about 65 of our Dutch friends and family joined us to celebrate the day. We had a wonderful reception with drinks and snacks. We also did quite a few of the wedding tratitions. We had a cake that Femke baked from a traditional Irish recipe. We also did a "first dance" and a boquet toss. Rob's 8-year old cousin caught the boquet, so all those believing in the "next married" tradition" will have to wait a bit for they're wedding.

You will all be impressed that I gave a speech competely in dutch, which was actually understood. It ended somewhat like "An now I have found my Knight in shinin armor, and have my castle. Has anyone seen my white horse?"
