We invited you to celebrate our wedding
Born in Bellevue but not your typical Bellevue girl. She also worked on a farm & hauled wood, rides motorcycles, and plays bass guitar.
Born in Germany, moved to US in 2010 for work, and fell in love with the pacific northwest. Well, with Kristina too but that took a few more years.
If you're like us, you might wonder how we got here. Strap in, it's a wild ride.
We met on the boat of a common friend. We enjoyed the sun, water, and a cringey portion of dad jokes. Hey, in Immo's defense: Kristina started with them.
It all started innocently by just watching a British show 'Catastrophe'. Unlike Immo's usual dates this was very much not a catastrophe. And soon after, we realized we liked each other more than we thought.
For Kristina's birthday, Immo and Kristina went on their first motorcycle ride together. Or maybe that was really a present for Immo? 🤔
Unfortunately, Immo's mum was on her last legs due to a decade long fight with cancer. We decided to go together. While it wasn't exactly a vacation, Immo is incredibly thankful that his mum got to meet Kristina. And she very much approved of her.
We waited a while before we told the kids because we needed to be sure that we could be one big family. We made our kids go through several big changes over the last years already. Thankfully they liked the idea very much: not only did they like each other, they also liked their soon-to-be step-parents. And maybe—just maybe—the promise of ice cream made everything even better!
Immo finally got his act together and proposed to Kristina. In the spirit of doing things differently, he did it during a camping trip with the kids while kneeling in a rocky riverbed. Hey, we're living in the pacific northwest. Sadly, Immo failed to secure sponsorship from REI.
