Our wedding



We married in the evening of the 27th July this year (2001).
Although a long awaited moment, the planning for this was very short and we turned out to have a couple stressy days prior, so that we - as of missing space and time - unfortunately couldn't invite all of those who we would liked to be with us. As a little "compensation" this website is supposed to give you a belated inview of what happened.
The attenders were: the marriage commissioner, six guests and us
Of course, two of the guests were our witnesses:

Heriti, a longtime friend of Nita who is working at the Immigration-Center Victoria - she had helped us lots and many times and still is so decent to only allow us to make our own happiness as her reward.

Fatumo [Fatima], Nitas "Mumi" :-) not her real mum, but they successfully act as mother and daughter. At this point allow me to tell a little surprising "story on the side":
As Fatima moved a couple months ago within Victoria, we happened to loose contact to her completely. Only by chance it happened on the day of our wedding, that our ways crossed in a supermarket. After she heard about our intention she quickly took some hours of her work to participate in the last moment and take this position.

After the ceremony, which was - as even the commissioner had to note - "short and painless", we moved on (could you have guessed?) to a little party. The catering for this - and this is probably quite surprising as well - was done by Nitas "Ex" (Ex made the Snacks). (He used to say that he - if at all - only would make us the "worst man"... but the snacks did found approval and nothing was left behind).

It is a bit a pity that we don't have any more pictures then these, but I think you will agree: It's better then nothing :-)

The material can be reviewed as Slideshow with 60 second interval, or one by one:

Party-Time!!!


For the "house-warming" (which was quite necessary!) we have here a list with partly traditionnel and partly not as traditionnel products, that we already purchased now and partly even already was 'presented' to us by a variety of relatives, but partly still is "open", so that you still have now the opportunity to "warm us in"... :-)))

For everybody who is deeply saddened to have missed this opportunity to be "with us": do not despair!
Although this was a serious event, it is not actually what we were looking for; therefor all of you are already now invited to our BIG *Wedding*.
But be aware: better you start saving your money, as we plan to have this event to take place in *FIJI* and we surely can't afford tickets for everybody...
When this plan will be realised is still undecided. We would be very happy, if we can get everything sorted till next year; yet, as we have to finish our settlement...
