A wedding in times of Corona means one thing above all for the couple: Emotions! Mourning for the date that has to be postponed and a lot of uncertainty about what is actually the most beautiful day of life. Benny Schmidt, producer of the Wedding Wednesday Magazine and the Wedding King Awards and Beatrix Schmiedel, founder of the Wedding gear didn’t want to leave it like that. They allowed a couple to have a surprise day as a wedding surrogate, taking them from grief back to anticipation – all under the circumstances! The nine service providers that the two had booked for their wedding were there immediately.
What the two did not suspect at this point: in two hours, when the wedding with Beatrix von In the name of happiness started, they will say yes. But first we played, drank champagne and laughed. At the latest with TicTacToe against magicians Timo Brecht you could see: It’s not just a couple playing against their service providers here, there’s a lot of love in the room. Meanwhile, singer waited Jacqueline Rubino with her guitar already at the Trauplatz, which the two have not yet seen.
After everyone had left the hall, the couple looked at a monitor: “Do you want to say ‘yes’ now?” asked Beatrix. The two – visibly touched – had not expected this surprise wedding substitute! But one last big surprise was missing. The bride in particular became very emotional when she saw her parents, who were allowed to be present at the wedding.
The yes word seals their love for the next 365 days. Because in a year, on May 16th, 2021, Antonia and Chris will finally celebrate their wedding. Exactly how the two of them always imagined. With all her loved ones, lots of hugs and the great service providers who made it all possible. But above all without Corona. The anticipation is back – and with it memories of an incredible day.
