Cancun Big Brother: 2.april.2004

My big brother got maried. We are allready a strange family but now it will become more strange. I mean I'm half german, 1/4 spanish and 1/4 italian from origine. My sister was maried with an Marocan and my brother is now getting married with a German/Venezuelian girl. And this wedding is finding place in Xcaret South of Cancun Mexico ! Very international.

Everything begun with a dance. A Salsa dance. We are few years ago in Munich. Patrick see this girl and get a WAAAOOOW-Flash ! They beginn to dance together in this salsa course and a big long Love-story started. They still dance together today but this time in front of Daniela's big family and our family only represented by my mother, my sister, my girlfriend and me. The rest of our family couldn t come. Europe is far away.

It's about 15.27 hours.The countdown beginn (at 17:30 the marriage will beginn) I'm in the taxi. I should meet Patrick 15 minutes ago, but I runned out of gas with my brand new car.I bought it yesterday and the guy just took all the gazonline out. So with a Taxi I'm going to meet Patrick...we will go together to the wedding...Alys has to take the bus at 15.20 in Grand Melia Hotel. I tell the Taxi to go faster, he answer me yes yes, but the car doesn't get faster. I don t want to be late.We arrive in the Hotel Grand Melia just on time, I can see the bus, Alys get out of the car and joins the family. I tell the taxi to go as fast as he can to Patrick's meet point. Naturaly the Taxi driver didn t follow my instruction and go as slow as he always do. I call that Mexican velocity.
Patrick is waiting since an half hour when I arrived. He tells me in the car that he would not have wait more than 10 minutes more. But we did it. We take a Taxi to Patrick's ceremony place. One hour drive to South of Cancun. Naturaly Patrick tells the driver to go faster, but this Taxi driver is like the one I had before "Mexican velocity", he will not get faster even if a cyclon would follow us. He tells us that is for our security. But Patrick answered, if it is for our security why don't we have belts in the back." Well, life" will say Lorenzo.
We finaly arrived, get to the ceremony place. And for the second time in my life I wear a tie. I just hate that thing but Patrick could manage to put it on me! Incredible. Grrrrrrr.

We are now few meters of the ceremony place, Raphael the supervisor of the ceremony always check per walkie talkie that we will not see Dani in her Wedding-Dress. It brings bad luck if the groom see his bride dressed before the ceremony. So we hide behind palms....and then....then the ceremony started at this place (not to much word to describe, look at the pic ladies and gentlemen...)

The feet in the sand and wind in the air, in front of us, Daniela and Patrick, looking the pastor and the caribean ocean followed by a sunset. The environment is just amazing and romantic. Music is playing, and the wedding in spanish and german language starts. The future married looked so happy. We were 40 in they back, but when I get in the front to take some picture they seems to be alone, one for the other. They seems to live this moment very intensely, so intense that we just desappear. Daniela looked at Patrick and they just smiled. I give the rings and they get married for the eternity with a double YES....Waaaaow. What a incredible think to find the person with who you will share everything all you re life. They are some people who will never find that, they will search all they life. Some people think its so commun a couple but you have to think about what that realy mean. To be sure that you will do everything for the other, that the other become more important than yourself. Finding the strong to move the mountains for one person that you love so much...Pass hard moment of your life allways knowing the other will be here to help you, trusting in somewhere else 200 %, be sure he will never bless you. Suffering when the other is suffering, or be happy just by looking at the others happyness. All this Union is a complex interchange of emotion. Be two means living for two people. Understanding the other, sharing, helping... I allways say that reel love is the following equation = 1 +1 = 1. Some people never understand that because its irrational for them, but reel love is irrational and the people who understand that equation feel the result like beeing an evidence.
The mariage here is a official way to tell the people, that happen with us, we found ourself, we found the one. All what that mean behind is more complex and the fact that my english is so bad don t help me to clearly explain what I deeply want to say, so before beeing to much wrong with my words I will stop here, hopping you in fact know what I want to say. ;-)

So permit me to get back to the wedding ...

The night fall. Candle on the floor illuminate the sand and show us the way to go. Very romantic. We follow the light allong the beach. On the left some mens blow in the shelter as they want to annouce the marmaid that we arrived, on the right the sound of the waves rythm our steps. The sounds disappear slowly and seconds letter the breath of the mens will be gone through the shelter again, liberating this sound once again...At the end of the way, the champagne glass were waiting to kling together for celebrating the new union the married. At this moment they arrived.

Followed a fantastic dinner (One more, Thx Dany and Patrick). The orchester played some music. Sometime somebody took the micro and had a speach. I could had one but Vincent the brother of Daniela had said what was to say. And nobody could had say it better. He is a phantastic speaker and a wonderfull person. The kind of guy everybody like, because he know a lot and stay simple and modest until having a big heart. And its a funny guy. I met him the first time in Miami, Mister Factible. Well, he found the word that touched the people in the heart. Great speaker, I think he could make a fantastic TV entertainer, I realy like this guy.
Then the night continue with dancing, from Claude Francois to Techno and of course some latin songs. Great time for everybody.

I could say so much more about this night but the best was to be there. Hope you will have a beautifull and happy life my brother. We all thank you Daniela and Patrick to invite us and had a good time with you in Mexico. The place was incredible and not just romantic for you. A part of dream that you share with us. We thank you so much for all you done in perfection. Great place, great people and a lot of fun. If all the ceremonie will be like that I will put more Tie in my life. ;-)
Merci, gracias, danke, thx.

PS: when will I see the Patrick and Dany Jr.'s ?
