pia's confirmation

pia's confirmation in june 2008 took place in the beautiful little church of st andrew's in richmond, with guests arriving from as far as the US and Brockley (shall I say it took us only 2 1/2 hours and we got lost only once?)


however, the majority came from good ol' germany which was just as well as the service was conducted entirely in german (or, as pastor kruse put it, "if you don't speak german - tough!")


this could not intimidate us (actually, some of us speak german 'ziemlich gut') and luckily we were not meant to speak but to listen anyway and certainly to watch as beautiful pia made her entry!


here she comes!!!

with such a gorgeous young lady mom and dad are beaming...



...and we must admitt we've never seen her any prettier!

whereas looking closer at the kruses raised the suspicion that their faces where slightly familiar, indeed that we had just seen a short documentary about the two on german telly a few month ago and their new life in britain. watch it here if you like...

so here we have the first outdoor shot of the bunnenberg watermans with newly-confirmed daughter
- what a lovely family!!!



the extended clan...



and their lively offspring...


but we urge you to take a good look at little richard here as we can safely call this the 'before' picture (more of this later...)

and we were delighted to see christine's parents so well and happy



as are ute (this is a very rare picture of her without a camera in front of her nose - well done, deac!)

and annette I.

it was a splendid service and it looked like everybody...


was having a great time...


and all these good looking girls around...




...that only for the fraction of a second did we think that elena's and mark's little daughter was actually stealing the show...


but then she looked too innocent to comtemplate such a thing and anyway, she is just too cute!<
