Maria’s Bruder Matthias zeigte einen kurzen Video von Maria als junges Mädchen.Anschliesend zeigte der Freund des Präutigams ein kurzes Video, wo Gertrude, das andere Mädchen in Alan’s Leben aufgedeckt wurde.

Geniese die Höhepunkte!

Photographer, Finlay Nicolson took the couple down to the beach before returning to the Hotel for more photos.  Being in a group of actors meant some guests were not afraid to pose in front of the camera !

After being piped into the main dining room Maria & Alan cut their cake before Alan’s father stood up to get the speeches started which were both in German and English.   Maria’s brother, Matthias, showed a short video of Maria as a young girl followed by the Best Man revealing the other girl in Alan’s life – Gertrude !
