Our Story
Still being written
Here's the short version: we quietly tied the knot at the spring equinox on Ærø, a small Danish island. Berlin in August is the loud version — the proper party, with all of you in it.
How we actually met is a longer story. More soon.

For the adventurous
Relive David's middle-school trip to Berlin
Book A&O Hostel Mitte, get pushed around by a teacher (or another authority figure), and visit as many sights as you can cram into a day · so you're too tired to do any nonsense at night.
For the more adventurous
Relive Yidi's first trip to Berlin
Hotel Berlin Berlin · cool name, but not recommended (very far away). Gallery-hop, interview the Boros Foundation couple in the penthouse on top of their art bunker, get advice on post-war building permits.
Dress Code
Wear it FUNky

The vibe
If it catches the light, wear it.
Think: colorful, exuberant, funky formal, disco, western, sparkle… Yidi. If it's beige, reconsider. The black suits, no. Also no costume party or jeans.
Day & night
Hot day, cooler night
Berlin August averages 25° during the day, it might even go up to 35°, who knows. It might also drop to 14° at night. Quite a bipolar character. Dress cool for the sun, bring a jacket for the night.
Kids
Little chaos agents
Bring 'em
The castle sits inside a fenced park, generally safe for most kids, but we still recommend keeping a casual eye on them (looking at you, Theo). We'll bring some toys for outdoor play, and feel free to bring more.
