Christian and Michaela's wedding started with a small religious ceremony at the visitor's centre of the Baha'i European House of Worship (it was unfortunately not held directly in the impressive dome itself). There was not much ceremony, just a few wise words from the priest and two reciters with perfect voices that led up to the pair taking their oaths (to always obey the wishes of the Lord). Afterwards, everyone relocated to a rather expensive (and over-crowded) restaurant on a mountain top (since no one really knew the way there, this was a fun trip). There was plenty of fine food and juices (totally non-alcoholic, nice touch). It was great to meet some old friends and a good opportunity to wear my green Chinese wedding suit again (which did not especially stand out, since the bride wore oriental gold, there was one more China dress and some other rather strange apparel around).
