8th of October... whats happening?

Some would answer : "Not much", others would say: " Wow, thats a lot!"... let's say, it all depends what you are used to ;-)
One thing is for sure, the 8th of October for me will become an important day.... for me & Kik. Not only will we celebrate my 50th birthday of the day before, but also that we get (legally, for our foreign viewers) married and that I will leave for Thailand for a considerable period!
Now, how to approach such a day? Simple actually!
At 4 pm we are expected at Cityhall of Delft, part 13th, part 17th century for those interested, to get married. The wedding will be officiated by Leja van der Hoek, a city councillor of the VVD (the Dutch Liberal party) and someone who I knowallready from 30 years ago. We got reintroduced to eachother when I moved to Delft in 2006, which was a pleasant surprise!
After the ceremony in Cityhall we all, us, the then just happily married couple and all our guests, willl go to Bebob, the music/jazzbar(cafe as we say in Dutch) to cut the weddingcake, and to give everybody the chance to celebrate with us this three in one event/celebration!

Before Cityhall we will meet our family (sadly only mine will be there, Kik's family had to stay in Thailand) and our witnessses at my house on the Oude Delft, from where we will walk to the VERMEERCENTRE at the Voldersgracht (gracht = canal in english) where we will meet up with even more guests. We then all will walk from there to Cityhall for the weddingceremony.
And after the so called reception at Bebobs, which will end latest at 20.00 hours ( 3 hours is long enough, don't you think?) my close family and witnesses will again go on foot to a cozy restaurant next to Delfts Old Church. And thats all what I am going to say about that ;-)
O, and for those who are interested to know where we will sleep that night: Not at home, thats for sure!
It is our intention not to go back home anymore and we will leave for Thailand the next day or latest friday the 10th.

Well, thats all for now!
From now on I feel forced to report regurlarly here about everything happening concerning our wedding and also the preparations for our wedding in Thailand.... why? because I made this weblog public on the invitation, haha... so now I have to!
At least thats how I feel it, so no breaks anymore like this last silent period here!
Till the next entry I say: Take good care you all!
