Welcoming our Families
Dinner with both families.

Welcoming our Guests
Welcome drinks with all guests who already arrived in Saarbrücken. On Wednesday, everyone will need to pay for their own drinks.

Official Ceremony
We will be getting married officially in the city hall in room 115 (on the 1st floor). The official ceremony is from 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm. Please try to be in the foyer of the Ceremony Room at least 15 minutes before the start time and preferably at 2 pm, such that the ceremony can start on time. The ceremony will take place in German with Polish translation. After the official ceremony, guests have to leave the room and gather in front of the Rathaus (please see the first picture shown below). The couple and witnesses will remain in the room for a few more minutes before joining the guests. The tight schedule is due to the fact that there is another wedding ceremony before and after ours.

We will come to the Rathaus St. Johann before 2:00 pm. We will entering the Rathaus at 2:00 pm. This is the picture of the place in front of the Rathaus: Then, we will go to the foyer at 2 pm. Please, enter the Rathaus through the main door and follow the stairs to the 1st floor, as shown in the photo below. The photo below shows the foyer in front of the Ceremony Room 115 where guest can gather from 2 pm to 2:30 pm before the ceremony. The door to the ceremony will be closed at 2:30 pm (sharp) so please come to the foyer on time, preferably at 2 pm. Let's keep the first row open for family at the Standesamt. Once the couple and witnesses join the guests in the square in front of the Rathaus, the guests can use the soap bubbles from their gift bags. Note that the soap bubbles can be used on the square in front of the Rathaus but not on the stairs (these are the rules from the Rathaus). In the case of rain, guests can directly go to the castle (Saarbrücken Schloss) by following the instructions below. If you come by car, you can use the car park (Q-Park), which is located directly next to the Rathaus.

Walk to the Venue
We will be walking together from the city hall to the venue through the old town. Just a heads-up: it's a cobbled street, so walking in high heels might be tricky. We recommend switching to flat shoes (flats) for this bit! You can open this link in Google Maps to see the precise directions.

Welcome Reception, Drinks, and Photos
Shall the weather permit, we will have a welcome reception with drinks at the terrace next to the castle overlooking the city of Saarbrücken (otherwise, we'll be in the Ballroom of the Castle on the 3rd floor). While everyone is enjoying the views and the drinks, we will be taking photos with different groups of people. You will be also playing the BINGO game about other guests and once you have all your answers you can find Karla to check your answers.

Morning-After Brunch
We'd love to spend our first morning as a married couple with you, and therefore, invite you to our place for brunch. We can recap the most beatiful memories or just sip a coffee in silence.

Saarbrücken City Tour
After recovering from the previous night and to walk off the calories of a large brunch, we would like to invite you for a guided city tour through "our" new city. Especially in summer, Saarbrücken has some corners that are well worth visiting.

Dinner
To end the day, we plan to go for a small dinner.

Trip to Luxembourg
Given that we live so close to the border, we would like to invite you for a small trip. We'll be taking the bus to Luxembourg city at 11:00. We'll be joining a city walking tour at 2:30 pm and then continue to explore the city on our own. Please be on time for the bus because it won't wait. We'll be taking the bus back to Saarbrücken at 5:00 pm, and will be back in Saarbrücken by 6pm.

Dinner
To end the day together, we'll be having dinner with everyone, also the ones who preferred to spend the day in Saarbrücken or elsewhere.

Fare-Well Day
Unfortunately, even the best things come to an end, and so we'll use the day to say goodbye to everyone who stayed with us for so long. We'll be mostly at home, have food, drinks, and snacks, but can also make individual plans. Just let us know your ideas.
