David and Hubertina's wedding in Sloten!

So..we're now back from Sloten [a picturesque little town about an hour's drive from Amsterdam] and here are some pictures of the proceedings for the happy couple! David had gone to school with Jos for her Art education course, and have known each other for a good 8+ years..

[for something a bit different, I've decided to put up more pics and less words for this entry, so you get to see a bit more of the fun stuff we got to enjoy] -- i'm attempting to do five word descriptions for the day's events..

so as you can all see, it was a great celebration and we sure had a nice time at the day's activities..it was also a big highlight for us to catch up with friends from Amsterdam as well as to enjoy the nice weather out in the country..

[in case you were wondering, yes..there were fields of tulips and cows with windmill farms all along the way....but didn't get to take any pics lah]
