It's my brother's. When he had some money a few years ago, he just decided to
realise a youth dream and bought this 1966 Buick. His "normal" car is a BMW,
though. And on this occasion, in case their would be rain, we had a white
Mercedes as a reserve, too.

Yes, we had our civil marriage in the museum. I consider it the most beautiful
building in my native town Hoorn (and it faces a statue of Jan Pzn. Coen, a
colonial beast from the past whose nickname was "IJzeren Jan").
And the church we rented for the reception, the dinner and the after-party.
Odd, isn't it? :)

Yes, it is. The two spouses and at least two witnesses (in our case four).

Thanks! :))

Oh well, I'm not too fond of protocol either, but I must admit that it is nice
to go through it one time in your life, surrounded by all your beloved ones,
and being the center of all attention. Also don't forget that protocol is
something that can be played with! ;))
