We are getting married… in a few weeks already! And I actually had promised to post more info here in April already. With Luuk in our lives however, I simply did not manage to do that earlier :).
First of all, there are still a few things I need to know from every guest:
a) Whether you have food preferences or allergies (eg vegetarian, nut allergy, etc)
b) What your 5 favorite songs are that you love to dance to!
c) To all parents: How many cribs you need and whether you can bring a portable crib for your child.
I will email you these questions as well, but if you have not responded yet, please let me know urgently (natalielangowski@yahoo.com).

Now about the ceremony:

As stated on the invitation, festivities begin on Friday at 5:30 pm. Please be at Gidibauer until then. If you cannot make it in time, please let us know before.

bayrisch

Friday will be a ‚Bavarian‘ meet and greet. Thus you are more than welcome to wear ‘Lederhosen’ and ‘Dirndl’ :). Otherwise, just dress how you would go to a beer garden. The main thing is that you feel comfortable.

On Saturday, the ceremony begins at midday in Gidibauer’s garden. All guests should be there no later than 11:30 to find your way around and find a place to sit. After all, the groom does not want to wait for the bride :). Wedding and baptism are held together. After that, the day continues with a reception, photos and wedding cake. There is of course time for all kids to take a little nap. The evening program begins at 5:30 pm.

There will be 3 ladies for childcare who will play with the kids, eat and also monitor them while sleeping. It is a voluntary offer and of course up to the parents and children to make use of it. The ladies will stay up late at night and sit next to the crib as well, if desired.
Dresscode for Saturday is ‘smart summer attire’. What does that mean? No gala outfit, rather a smart summer outfit in which you feel comfortable all day long, inside and outside :). Hopefully we will be outside all day until the evening program starts. Dinner and dancing will be inside. We will celebrate and dance as long as our ‘old feet’ will allow us :).
Sunday will bring celebrations to an end with a relaxed breakfast. All guests that are not staying at Gidibauer are welcome to come to Gidibauer for breakfast too. Just let us know in advance, so they can plan accordingly. We will stay at Gidibauer until Monday, so you are more than happy to enjoy the day with us on the terrace in the sun and leave later in the day.

Getting there:
Those who come by car, simply put the address in your satnav :).
By plane: Fly into Munich first and then take the train to Passau Hbf.
By train: Well, of course take the train to Passau Hbf too.
From Passau Hbf it is about 15-20 minutes by taxi to Gidibauer. We will negotiate a fixed price with a taxi provider and send you the number by email shortly before the wedding.
From Passau central station to Seehotel am Freudensee it is about 20 minutes by taxi. From Seehotel you can then either walk to Gidibauer (about 25-30 minutes), or take a taxi (5 min).
And now it is not long anymore…. We look forward to an unforgettable weekend with you. Should you still have any questions, just contact us.

Wir heiraten und zwar in ein paar Wochen! Und ich hatte eigentlich versprochen im April bereits mehr Infos hier zu posten. Ich habe es aber mit Luuk in unserem Leben einfach bisher nicht geschafft. Aber jetzt… :).

Zu Beginn aber noch eine Bitte an alle Gäste. Bitte gebt mir per Mail kurz Bescheid:

a) Ob ihr Essensvorlieben oder -allergien habt (zb Vegetarier, Nussallergie, etc)

b) Welches eure 5 Lieblingslieder sind, zu denen ihr gerne tanzt!

c) Alle Eltern: Wieviel Kinderbettchen ihr braucht und ob ihr ein Reisebett für euer Kind/er mitbringen könnt.

Ich werde das auch nochmal in einer Email abfragen. Falls ihr noch nicht geantwortet habt, schreibt es mir bitte noch dringend (natalielangowski@yahoo.com).

Und nun zur Hochzeit:

Wie auf der Einladung steht, beginnen die Festlichkeiten am Freitag um 17:30 Uhr. Bitte seid bis dahin beim Gidibauer, solltet ihr es nicht zeitlich schaffen, gebt uns bitte Bescheid.

bayrisch

Freitag wird ein ‚bayrischer‘ Kennenlernabend. Wer möchte, kann daher gerne in Tracht kommen :). Ansonsten einfach so, wie ihr sonst auch in den Biergarten gehen würdet. Hauptsache ihr fühlt euch wohl.

 

Untitled

Am Samstag beginnt die Zeremonie um 12:00 Uhr im Garten vom Gidibauer. Alle Gäste sollten daher bis spätestens 11:30 Uhr beim Gidibauer sein um sich zurechtzufinden und um einen Platz zu finden.  Schliesslich will der Bräutigam nicht auf die Braut warten wollen :). Trauung und Taufe finden gemeinsam statt. Danach geht der Tag mit Sektempfang, Fotos und Hochzeitstorte weiter. Es besteht natürlich  für die Kinder die Möglichkeit ein kleines Nickerchen zu machen. Um 17:30 Uhr beginnt das Abendprogramm.

Es werden 3 Damen zur Kinderbetreuung da sein, die mit den Kindern spielen, essen und auch beim Schlafen überwachen. Das Angebot ist freiwillig und natürlich den Eltern und Kindern überlassen, ob sie das Angebot wahrnehmen wollen. Die Damen bleiben auch bis spät in die Nacht und setzen sich neben das Bettchen, wenn gewünscht.

Dresscode für Samstag ist ‚sommerlich chic‘. Was das bedeutet? Kein Gala-Outfit, sondern etwas leichtes sommerliches, in dem ihr es auch gerne einen ganzen Tag drin aushaltet und trotzdem chic ausseht :). Tagsüber findet hoffentlich die ganze Zeit draussen statt, abends wird im Saal gegessen und gefeiert. Gefeiert und getanzt wird solange es wir „alten Hasen“ noch können :).

Der Sonntag klingt dann mit einem gemütlichem Frühstück aus. Alle Gäste, die nicht im Gidibauer übernachten, können gerne zum Frühstück zum Gidibauer kommen. Lasst es uns bitte nur wissen, damit entsprechend eingedeckt werden kann. Wir bleiben bis Montag beim Gidibauer und ihr könnt daher sehr gerne auch noch nach dem Frühstück mit uns den Tag auf der Terrasse in der Sonne geniessen und später abreisen.

gb2

Anreise:

Wer mit dem Auto kommt, gibt einfach die Adresse in den Navi ein :).

Mit dem Flugzeug, fliegt ihr zuerst nach München und dann geht es mit dem Zug weiter nach Passau Hbf.

Naja, und mit dem Zug natürlich auch nach Passau Hbf fahren.

Von Passau Hbf sind es ca. 15-20 min mit dem Taxi zum Gidibauer. Wir werden noch einen Festpreis mit einem Taxianbieter aushandeln und euch die Nummer per Email kurz vor der Hochzeit zuschicken.

Von Passau Hbf zum Seehotel am Freudensee sind es ca. 20 min mit dem Taxi. Vom Seehotel könnt ihr dann entweder zum Gidibauer laufen (ca. 25-30 min), oder ihr nehmt ein Taxi (5 min).

Und jetzt ist es nicht mehr lang…. Wir freuen uns auf ein unvergessliches Wochenende mit euch. Solltet ihr noch Fragen haben, meldet euch einfach bei uns.

Natalie, Mathias und Luuk

We are really back! When we landed it still felt a bit like landing on just another airport again. Sitting in the train home already started to feel a bit more German, but only when we were back in our flat and had our first German ‚Brotzeit‘ did it start to sink in that the year is truly over.

20150326_200316

It will probably take another few weeks until we will be able to reflect properly on everything and we will then post a welcome back review for you :). Until then: It feels great to be home again.

Last time we had been in New York was Christmas 2012. It was just 4 weeks later that my little niece was born then in January 2013. Now we were finally visiting my family in New York again and couldn’t wait to just spent time with them. And this is what we did for a week. We only went to Manhattan once and did some shopping, but mostly we enjoyed normal life and spending time with family much more. Unfortunately the week went by really quickly and we found ourselves in a plane again, then heading to London. There we spent three more days with my brother and friends before the final day arrived. We boarded our flight to Munich and with that our world trip really truly ended…

We learned how to cook some typical Colombian dishes in a cooking session with my aunt and also tried lots of local food again :). Strolling around the city, we also took the time here to buy new clothes for us. After wearing the same clothes for a year, it was time to invest into a new wardrobe for a smooth integration into society again. Thanks so much to all my family for taking the time to show us around.

We headed towards the Zona Cafetero, which is as the name says the area in Colombia with all the coffee plantations. Nicely situated between Cali and Medellin, it was the perfect route on our way to my other part of the family in Medellin. The first night we stopped at my cousin’s Finca near lake Calima. It was a bit cloudy when we arrived in the evening, but the next morning was beautiful and we were amazed by the stunning views from the house. We continued on, having breakfast on the road along with the truck drivers, just like Mathias loves it :). We drove through the beautiful country full of coffee and fruit plantations left and right and came to Salento, another cute little colorful town. We of course visited a coffee farm where we learned everything there is to know about coffee in Colombia. And everywhere on the trip we saw stunning tropical birds all around us.
