Well, the first step has been made on the road to getting actually married. The first step which is not only talk talk talk but actually also doing something, in other words, finally: ACTION, action with a goal!!
Thursday Kik and I went to Westvest Notarissen here in Delft, a few minutes walk from my Delft home. I will not tell you all that happened, except that for the occasion a legally certified interpretor/translator was present to translate and explain to Kik all that was happening from Dutch into Thai.
Ofcourse, Kik and I allready talked about everything and so I was happy to discover that all was clear, no surprises for him and so everything was in accordance to what had been discussed. But it felt good to see him get everything explained and confirmed in his own language with a translation of the marriagecontract.
After all of that was esteblished and to the satisfaction of the "notaris", and ofcourse Kik and myself, we signed the contract! It felt all very official, haha
After the signing of the marriage contract, as is common here in Holland, we continued with the signing of my new Last Will & Testament, as it so nicely sounds in English I believe.
Both documents are ofcourse private and so their content will not be revealed here in my weblog... but if th sad occasion of my departure from this world into the next has arrived, some of you might find out what was written in it... and then I mean my Will ofcourse, because the marriagecontract will have no value anymore when that happens ;-)
Well... that evening we felt we made an important step and the next day we had nothing sheduled in our respective agenda's, so we decided to go, by public transport, to Batavia City , and outlet store complex near Lelystad. Last year we enjoyed going there very much and so we enjoyed the next day a pleasant trip to the same place. The weather was wonderfull, somewhat cold but very sunny, the typical autumn weather of this time of year if lucky ;-)
With loads of goodies, all stuffed in a newly bought large suitcase, we arrived happily home around 20.00 hours, tired but indeed very happy!
Batavia city can compete with Thailand when they have their sales on, and ofcourse with autumn and winter commming, all the sumergoods were on sale... so it was something like shop till you drop without loosing good common sense!
Alll in all it was more then worth the trip, and with this Batavia city excercise we finished a wonderfull week realising that we had 11/12 days left before our wedding, before us departing for Thailand!
