Congratulations to Andrea and Rudiger


Andrea and Rudiger
Originally uploaded by ilanpillemer.
To our surprise and delight Sandra and I discovered that Andrea and Rudiger got engaged to be married in Himeville in the Drakensberg.

(UPDATE - Not to "be married in Himeville" - they will get married in Germany. But they got "engaged" in Himeville. OK? No more ambiguitiy?)

This was particularly beautiful as we also got engaged to be married in Himeville.

(UPDATE - Not to "be married in Himeville" - we got married in Durban. But we got "engaged" in Himeville. OK? No more ambiguitiy?)

Congratulations!!!

At the time Sandra wanted to get married that very week in Himeville. She got very frustrated and angry with me when I said "No." She tried to make me go into this little town's magistrate's office and ask them if they could marry us that day; or if possible the following day. hmmmm.

Later on she wanted to get married with only us in a hot-air balloon.

But in the end she was very happy to have a beautiful wedding, in a beautiful dress, surrounded by many of her family.

So soon in the Kelm family there is going to be another celebration of joy and simcha.

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
