The 8th of October will stay burned into my memory as one of the most warm days I ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Warm not in the sense of temperature but of spirit!!
Kik and I enjoyed the day more then we can say. Not only because contrarie to expectations it was a most beautifull and sunny Octoberday but also because of all the people who came to wittness us being married at Cityhal of Delft, The Netherlands!
For us it has been a most glorious day we will never forget.
All of my family was present, my and Kiks wittnesses as well as all our friends from all walks of life. I felt specially blessed and lucky to see my ex husband and his husband as well as other former boyfriends/lovers present and truly enjoying this day with me and for me!! We felt very very rich indeed on this day! We were very happy to see friends from my (Robs) Rijswijk-period, politically and socially, as well as from the Delft liberals and the regional Hiv Organisation, the Delft Gay Association DWH, the Saterdaymorning group as well as the saterday late afternoongroup (saterdays were allways very good and warm days in that respect!). But also all my Masonic friends from the two Delft Lodges, friends from all over the country and my oldest friendsgroup, the “dinnerclub”, who, till last month, got together at least once every three months for at least the last 28 years!!
We were esspeciay surprised to hear from the “bode” who assisted the Registrar who married Kik and me, that the weddingroom was not only totally full, but that the doors had to stay open to give everyone a change to wittness our weddingceremony.. she said that according to them there were roughly more then one hundred and twenty people present where officially max 80 were allowed to attend.
We never kissed so many people on one day, I can assure you that!!!
As soon as we left the house on Oude Delft 147, and actuele it started also a little bit before that, camera’s were klicking all the time till well in our ‘reception/afterparty’ at Bebob’s. Now we only were responsible ourselves for only two, who, on our request made a photographic and filmrecord of our wedding...but we were very surprised by al the other camera’s we have seen that day! And as such we would like to hear from every persoon who made picture or films of our day and that we are given the opportunist to enjoy the results of their labour!!
Sadly though my own camera was misplaced at Bebobs and is since then missing, including all the pics made with it!! If anyone who reads this could inform him or herself about the whereabouts of my canon camera, I would be so gratefull. It is very hard to start asking questions about its whereabouts from Thailand, so maybe one of you readers might be willing to do so!!
Goes without saying that we like to thank all who attended our weddingceremony as well as the ‘afterparty’ for making our most special day even more special and appreciated!! You all made us feel the most richest guys on the world that day and we are most gratefull for that feeling, it was the best gift that could be given to us for our wedding as well as to me for my 50th birthday!!
Special thanks goes to my Master of Ceremonies, my nephew and godson Jeroen, who not only had to take care off everything going akkoorden to plan but also had to handle me not to want to be in control al the time. He did a most splendid job and let me truly relax and enjoy this most magnificent day
As soon as it is possible I hope to place the available pictures of our wedding on my google picasso sight for all of you to enjoy. I wil give due notice when they are placed for viewing!!
