Vrijgezellen weekend (part 2)



Hi all,

It's now been a week ago that both Ophélie and I were surprised by our respective best friends and witnesses for the marriage.
Ophélie had a great time among girls in Brussels with a session about personal style with Bé De Meyer and afterwards a nice dinner and dance in a famous Italian restaurant in Brussels.

I started my surprise weekend with half a liter a Jupiler in Luk's car driving to... Montenaken :-)
There we were "drown" into my father's famous Sangria with way to much alcohol in it.
Of course, I had to change in a traditional Scottish kilt (first with, after without...)

We went out for a BBQ dinner in Gingelom and after that the night brought us to a few bars in St-Truiden, hik...

We staid in a B&B close to Montenaken.

On saturday morning, the big thing... QUAD just below the language frontier between Huy and Hannut... GREAT, SUPERB, FANTASTIC!!!!

After having drunk a few nice Maes Pils in the courtyard of a magnificent squared farm house, we drove to, of course, ALKEN where we first started with a Durum before going to play squash in kilt in the ATC Tennis Club (where I spent half of my youth :-)

From there, we went for dinner to De Wimmer for a superb Côte à l'os!!!

After thatn I was blind folded to arrive at, again of course, 't Kader where a few dozens of my friends were waiting.
I became a very nice and sympathetic party with a lot of friends I haven't seen in many times!

I would like to thanks all participants: Luk, Stephan, Jan, Koen, Thierry, Pat, Benjamin, Anton, Tom
And especially Stephan and Luk who were the great organizing talents of the weekend!!

It was an unforgettable weekend!!!

Hi there,

This weekend Ophélie and I will be taken by surprise by our friends.

Last month before the BIG day!

Hi all,

I just recovered from my serious jet lag (and other lags :-) after a superb week at Lotusphere in Florida last week.

Now is the time to get ready for the big wedding day on March 8th. Ophélie has done a tremendous job with all the invitations. The first (mostly positive) answers are coming in already.
I have the feeling that it's going to be a great day for us and for all invitees!

Everything is also settled for our Argentina trip, we are really eager to leave already.
I bought myself a great reflex camera in Florida in order to enrich this blog with hopefully magnificent and spectacular Argentina pictures.

We will try to use this blog as news medium while we are on Honeymoon, I'm sure Argentina has discovered internet as well already :-)

Cheers!
