Alright, final offer: 2 camels and a goat...

Saturday evening/Sunday morning saw Matthew and Hanna privileged to attend a Tigau family wedding. Hanna decided that she needed a dress and matching shoes and so dragged Matthew around one of the malls, carrying her bags like a gentleman.
After a slightly late start of 50 min (arriving late at Romanian weddings seems to be the norm) we arrived at the Church to witness the orthodox ceremony, which was very different to the Church of England and the Lutheran services Matthew and Hanna knew.
The service was followed by a huge party involving five course spread over 10 hours, in which Matthew and Hanna made a new friend. This aforementioned friend hardly got to speak to Hanna, as Matthew was trying to "pull dem ladies!". He objects to this statement, but has to admit that he very much enjoyed her company.
Furthermore the bride was stolen, a Romanian tradition, in which the kidnappers demand some strange things for her return. In this case: 2 camels and a goat. Not entirely sure where they found those animals. But the bride returned at midnight! All in all a wonderful night/morning and our congratulations to the newly wedded couple.
