Wedding insurance
Do we get cold feet? Nooooooo!!!!!
I think the reason was my shoulder and arm that I thought you never know what happens.
But be re-assured, we will do everything to go ahead as planned and celebrate our big day on August 23rd, 2008.
See you at our wedding on August 23rd!
A list with links to potential activities in Vienna
Here it is....
http://www.imagevienna.com/ Konzerte / Concerts in Schönbrunn MOZART und STRAUSS
http://www.hgm.or.at/ Heeresgeschichtliches Museum, ~Museum of Military – Homepage auch Englisch
http://www.drittemanntour.at http://www.thirdmantour.at/ eh klar, a given
http://www.karlsplatz.org Übersicht diverse Veranstaltungen, Overview of different activities and events
http://www.khm.at/ Kunsthistorisches Museum Art History Museum – Homepage auch Englisch
http://www.albertina.at
http://www.wienmuseum.at Link zu „anderen“ Museen, z.B. Uhrenmuseum - link to a variety of museums, e.g. the clock or watch museum
http://www.tschauner.at/ Original Wiener Stegreifbühne ist wohl eher nichts für Engländer, ad hoc Viennese Theater, but most likely not for English speaking people (even non Viennese might struggle)
http://www.bodiesvienna.at Die präparierten Original Menschen Körper - brrrrrrrrr gruselig, nix für mich , original human bodies 'prepared' (??) - brrrrrr awful, not for me
Now you need only to stay some months in Vienna, and you will know Vienna better then the Viennese people.

Certificate of no impediment - we have it!! Finally
Today we finally got THE document to ensure that we can get married.
The famous 'Certificate of no impediment'.
The envelop looks very nice - we think to frame it - the document itself is sooo legal. The text is nearly amusing. Things like on the 6th day of May (instead on May 6th or 6th May) and even more legal text which I can not even understand easily.
That is obviously to ensure that translators have a job. Monday is translation day in London for Stu.

Change of rules to get our legal documents
Now in the middle of the process, they changed the rules. This means unnecessary spending on a strange advertisement but even worse we start from the beginning and adding another x weeks to get our papers.
I could highly recommend change management and project management courses to improve the process of changing the rules.
We can not even find out easily what has to happen after step 1 - because website says on top of the page step 2 has changed and is NOT xyz anymore, if you look for details further down the page, step 2 describes what it is NOT anymore according to the top of the page.
As my new manager always says 'Hi Ho' we will find a solution.
Hi Ho ..... we will see.
