We wake early due to noise and begin a search for breakfast. Food is surprisingly difficult to find before 9 a.m. We return to the hostel to change into our wedding clothes and wait for our taxi to arrive. The car is late and we make quite a site, standing outside the hostel in formal wear with backpacks.
Waiting in tuxedos
We arrive at the castle in the pouring rain and are forced to hike through the mud to the gate. Our rooms are assigned and we are placed in the attic. I can hardly contain my excitement.
Schloss Scharfenburg
The wedding festivities last all day. They wed at 12:30 p.m. We drink champagne and eat cake in the afternoon, then take a tour of the castle. We visit the dungeons and torture chamber and follow secret passages. I thoroughly enjoy the tour and do some exploring on my own. I am convinced the place is haunted and scare myself into stopping my unofficial tour.
In the dungeon
We eat and drink in the evening but it is not until after 10 p.m. that we also dance. The loud, drunk Americans rule the floor and vow to keep the party jumping. There is a break for ice cream at midnight but we dance until it is time to help the DJ pack up at 2:30 a.m. Russell and I return to the attic and Teets and Greer outlast us again.
