As you might know I am from Munich, Germany, the home of the original Oktoberfest. It is the world’s biggest seasonal fair and if you haven’t been there yet, you should go.

“O’zapft is!” is Bavarian dialect for “Es ist angezapft” which means “it is tapped”. This is what Munich’s mayor announces on the Oktoberfest’s beginning day exactly at 12:00 pm when he taps the first barrel of beer. Tapping a big wooden barrel is not easy and different mayor have shown different skills.
Current mayor Christian Ude has no problems here: he’s in his 13th year of being mayor …

For me getting to the Oktoberfest was a matter 5 minutes while I still lived in Munich. Now it’s a bit farther and since I can’t make it the second year in a row now, I do miss it.

I want to give you a few impressions with pictures I took:

When Lisa and David first told me about their plans for their big day I got excited right away!

So … mission accomplished! Their wedding turned out a day to remember. Not only are the two such amazing people and so in love—the reception at the Ballantyne Resort was just beautiful!

Their 5 (!) sons are so much fun, as parents so children. The hottest moment though was when Lisa and her girls changed into suits and top hats and surprised a blindfolded David with a hot dance!
(And this was not Lisa’s last change of clothes …)

Cutting the gorgeous cake by Decadent Designs was another fun event with David growing horns …
The band Summer Daze did a great job and kept the dance-floor burning. Even kids were flying! I love great bands!

Lisa & David—you rock!

The trailer for My Fair Wedding with David Tutera is up on WE tv.

The first episode will air on October 26 at 9/10 pm and the episodes on which Critsey and I are featured will run on November 2 and 9.

Make sure to tune in on these episodes!

Shane and Greg are almost famous by now: they did the fabulous waterfall/underwater session in the beautiful North Carolina mountains with us!

And now they got married!

Their flower girl and their ring bearer were absolutely adorable and the couple had a lot of unique and moving things going on at their ceremony:
Shane was not presented by her dad but the whole family stood in front of the altar, holding hands. And then the union candle’s flame was given to all the guests and made for a beautiful mood inside the church.

The Morehead Inn was a wonderful place for their reception and we did some family portraits in a “grand portrait” style.

Did they have fun? You bet—take a look. And I did too!
