Our journey

How it happened

  1. 2015

    A choir

    Second soprano, first bass. We sang beside each other for half a year before either of us said anything.

  2. 2018

    A flat without furniture

    For three months just a mattress and a piano. It was the best time, we say now.

  3. 2022

    A year apart

    We were apart for eleven months. It belongs here, and without it the rest would not be true.

  4. 2026

    Without many words

    On a Sunday morning, in the kitchen, half dressed. It took less than three minutes.

    We finish early. On purpose.

On our own behalf

Gifts

We want nothing. That is not a polite phrase — we have everything we need. If you would still like to give something: the chapel organ has been under repair for years and is collecting for it.

The venue

Everything you need to know.

Kapelle am Hang

Ceremony at 3:00 pm

A small chapel above the Rhine with forty seats. The way up is steep and cobbled — if walking is difficult, tell us and we will collect you at the top.

Bergstraße 40
53639 Königswinter

One request

Dress code

Plain and light. We have no rules, but if you want one: as little pattern as possible. In March it is windy up on the hillside and the chapel never warms up.

We would love to see you
