DAS ECHO VOM KONIGSSEE...


As you can see, we had a nice dusting of snow in the alps last night...but the sun is out now and we are wandering through town window shopping.Here we are getting ready to board one of the little electric boats to go on our little cruise across the lake...we had our picture taken and almost fell into the water because the silly dog was chasing a ball! This emerald lake nestled between the alpine valley of Berchtesgaden, is the "Konigssee" (which means Kings Lake). Mommy has been here many times. It is unforgettable to ride the electric ship across the clear green water and listen to the amazing echo of the trumpet in the center of the lake.

ARRIVING IN GERMANY!

Oh what a pleasant ride we had over the big pond in our hot air balloon. It was a gift to us from our dear friend Jasper! It was a little windy at times but we snuggled under the warm blankets that Cory gave us for our wedding. I managed to pack all of my things quite nice in the Tuna Samsonite that Parker gave me. The picknick basket that Cheysuli packed for us came in handy when we got hungry! Here we are planning which cities we are going to visit...

I wanted to introduce Mickey to some of our Bavarian culture. So our first stop was in Berchtesgaden where we danced in the wildflowers on the slopes of the famouse Watzman after drinking a flask of Steinhaeger. This is such a wonderful alpine village, I wish you could be here with us. The cows, the cheese, the Alphorn players...oh how happy we are!

THE WEDDING DAY AT LAST...


On our special day, this beautiful music is my wedding gift to you, my beloved Mickey the Black Cat. It symbolizes the two of us in the autumn of our lives through the maple leaves of your country and the watery shores of your home Lake Echo. From this day forward, we will wander together paw in paw into the winter of our lives...




















Dearly Beloved, We come together as friends and family encircling Miss Peach and Mickey with our love, friendship, and support. We are gathered today in the sight of God, to forever unite the hearts of Miss Peach and Mickey. Miss Peach, do you take Mickey to be your husband in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live? (places ring on Mickey's paw) Repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed. (Miss Peach repeats) And Mickey, do you take Miss Peach to be your wife in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live? (places ring on Miss Peach's paw) Repeat after me: With this ring I thee wed. (Mickey repeats). By the power vested in me, I, Beau the Southern Gentleman, now pronounce Miss Peach and Mickey husband and wife....Mickey, you may kiss your bride! (everyone ooooooos and aaaaaaaaaawwwwwws)(As Mickey and Miss Peach turn and face the loving crowd.) Friends, I present to you the married couple, Mickey, and MRS. Peach!!
