Janni & Mike

Join us for the upcoming wedding of

26.07.2024 - Buxtehude

Our Story

Janni and Mike's journey started in 2011 during 6th Form College after their time abroad in the USA and Argentina. Their connection, formed in English, Art, and Music classes, quickly evolved into a strong bond. What began as a spark of friendship gradually turned into a lasting love as they spent more time together. In the beginning, Mike had to pursue Janni's affections with determination, but her initial hesitation soon transformed into an enduring love.

 

Over the years, they faced challenges, conquering long-distance from Costa Rica and Canada during their respective times abroad. Even during the three years of their Bachelor's studies in different cities on opposite sides of Germany, their love remained resilient.

 

Today, Janni and Mike share a cozy home in Hamburg and spend their time in friendly competition at the board game table or in their music corner. They cherish exploring the world together, immersing themselves in diverse cultures through their shared passion for travel, food, and the joy of cooking international dishes.

Please find below some selected hotels that are close to the location of the wedding celebrations. - Hotel Navigare - reachable on foot - https://www.hotel-navigare.com/ - Hotel zur Mühle - reachable on foot - https://hotelbuxtehude.de/ - Hotel am Stadtpark - reachable on foot - https://www.hotel-stadtpark-buxtehude.de/ - Hotel an der Linah - slightly further away (around 15min walk).

  • I want to get a wedding present - what can I get?
    We're thrilled to have you join us for our wedding celebration. Your presence is the best gift we could ask for. However, if you'd like to contribute in another way, we'd be deeply grateful for any cash contribution towards our honeymoon or future home. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated.
  • What's the dress code?
    As the bride and groom we will be dressing up for the occasion. However, we want to celebrate with you in a way that everbody feels comfortable. Our recommendation is to come in cocktail dress code. This allows for more formal, elegant attire whilst giving enough flexibility to wear what is comfortable to you. Black-tie is not required. As we know that getting to grips with dress codes can sometimes be tricky, here are some links to help you: - https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/content/blog/what-is-cocktail-attire
  • Where can I park?
    For the wedding ceremony you can park directly in front of the "Standesamt" (town hall) in Jork or you can use the Rewe car park. If you choose to park here please make sure you use a parking disc or you may receive a fine. For the wedding party you can find parking at the "Altstadtparkplatz" marked in the map below. The pay and display parking is free from 6 pm on Fridays and costs around 2 Euros for one hour prior to this. From here it is a short walk to the Rebel's Choice.
  • Why the Rebel's Choice?
    We look forward to celebrating our vows with you in the Rebel's Choice. Before this iconic Irish pub moved to the new location at Fischerstraße 3, it was the venue for many of our first outings. It was partially here that we started to form our friendship and bond during our high school years. Since then the Rebel's Choice has taken up residence in the "Altes Fuhrmannshaus" (old coachman's house), which was constructed in 1553. The half-timber house was fully restored in 1979 and remains one of the oldest and most striking examples of tradtional architecture in Buxtehude.
  • I want to join the wedding ceremony, can I?
    As the space inside the historic chamber at the "Standesamt" (town hall) is limited, the wedding ceremony itself will take place with selected people and close family only. However, if you want to congratulate us after the wedding ceremony, there is the option to wait for us outside of the Standesamt in Jork. We'd be very happy to see you there and give everybody a big hug as newlyweds. We expect the ceremony will end around 11:45 a.m.
  • Can I throw confetti?
    No! Please don't throw any confetti, other artificial products or rice neither inside nor outside of the "Standesamt" (town hall). However, you can throw flower petals or blow soap bubbles outside of the town hall. Please make sure to sweep up any flower petals before you leave. There will be a broom provided by the town hall. Confetti-Cannons are strictly prohibited.
  • Can I take pictures of the wedding ceremony?
    Yes, you can take pictures of the wedding ceremony but please also try and enjoy the moment with us. Please make sure to turn off any mobile phones or make sure they are turned to silent so as not to disturb the ceremony. Please be aware that you are not allowed to film the ceremony without asking the registrar for permission first, as she holds the sole rights to the officiant speech. Please approach her outside of the room in which the ceremony will be held.
  • Can I bring my dog?
    Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed.
