Wunderbar!

I received an email last night that has put me in the best of moods. My German exchange student from high school will be coming to the wedding (along with this girlfriend)!

He emailed me to say: "We are looking forward to visit you on your wedding! The flights are booked and we will connect this happy event with a roundtrip through Canada. We had such luck with your wedding date: it is exactly the time of school-holydays where Theresa can be with me. We hope that you have not so much stress to plan the wedding etc"

He also attached this picture:

My German has declined significantly since high school but hopefully after a few drinks I will be speaking fluently (like is the case when I try to speak French).

I'm just so happy and so touched that he'll be making the trip back to Canada again...This will be his third trip as he came a second time after the initial exchange. I haven't seen him since 2001 when his family graciously hosted me again while I was backpacking around Europe after university.

(Carrie and Megs - we had all better brush up on our German so that Andreas and Theresa feel welcome!) :)
