This is the Sternen Hotel in Worb where we held our reception. It was also were many of the guests stayed, so it was the central point during the week where everyone got to know each other.

After we took pictures with Roland at the Rose Garden, we made our way back to the Sternen where the guests were waiting in the upstairs Bar/Lounge that was set up for us. Here we are with Frau Hofer.

Frau Hofer immediately presented us with a white cloth umbrella on which she cleverly had each of the guests write a note.

This was a really neat surprise. I noticed that everyone was reading these newspapers. I finally got my hands on one and it was a really cool newspaper called the "C & J Wedding Post." It was written in English and German and contained funny articles, pictures, and tidbits about Claudia and me. For example, Stefan wrote an article looking for another sister.

Durni, his daughter Bernadette, Ted, and Stefan spent weeks putting these together. Here's Katalin reading one.
