This weekend was the most wonderful one I had in a long time.
Friday was the main event: the wedding. Everybody that attended dressed in style, rode out to the hotel where we awaited the arrival of the happy couple. A brief lunch break was in order and then we were off to the actual ceremony. They both uttered the two most important words that were to be spoken that day. With the second "I do!" still ringing through the air, the applause resounded throughout the guests and the groom could kiss his lovely wife.
We moved on to a side room to congratulate the newlyweds and their relatives, after which we headed out for group pictures and a healthy helping of wedding cake.
Whilst they headed into the Efteling for more pictures, the rest of the guests retired to 't Maoske, where we were busy with the sound check for the band, talking with everyone we had not seen for a while and simply kicking back for a bit until the married couple would arrive.
They were welcomed with songs and cheers, were guided to their seats, after which they were laden with wedding gifts, too diverse to even try to enumerate.
After that came dinner, delicious and filled with conversation. And it was then that the groom finally heard from his bride where they would be spending their honeymoon.
The evening was filled with even more joy, as well as 150+ guests. Good music, plenty of drinks and even better company got me going throughout the night.
The band did (what I would consider) its best gig ever, with everyone blowing out all stops, rocking until the cows came home.
Then we partied some more, until - as all things must come to an end - finally we all had to return home. And I am quite sure that every single person who was there had the time of their lives.
