Re: OT: My wedding pictures

>         [Delurking from frantic-packing mode] Once again, congratulations!
Thank you!

> You look less like a Russian sailor when you are in a tux. :)
Hahaha, I'm relieved to hear that! :)))

> However, I do have a couple of questions: birthday hat? Headphones?
> Milk and wine? Is this some strange Dutch custom that I'm not familiar
> with?
Not at all. The hat is just my maffioso hat, that I wear from time to time. I
put it on because it was raining.
The headphones and the milk were part of a play that friends of ours had made
for us (I'm a fanatic drinker of milk, ya know...).
And the wine... well, you have to drink sómething, no?

> Who is the little girl?
Our one-and-a-half year old daughter Suzanne. And the two ladies carrying her
are my mother and my mother-in-law.

> Oh, yes, and how well do you sing?
I used to sing quite well; I was in a semi-professional choir for a while, and
that was about the best I could achieve with it. On this occasion, however,
what I sung was not classical, but a Dutch "smartlap" (a term I can't explain;
it's some sort of Amsterdam café music, usually about love and unhappiness).

> You look like a pretty good dancer, but maybe that's the champagne. :)
Hehe, I guess it must have been the latter. I'm not a dancer at all! On the
other hand, I might have been the music as well. We had a Jewish klezmer band,
and that is the kind of music that even a 100 years old could dance to.
