My parents were the first non-royal couple to be married in Heidelberg Castle. The Heidelberg Quartet played at their wedding and the only currency they would accept was a carton of American cigarettes. He was an Army Sgt. and she was a Red Cross nurse.
Awesome story. What year were they married?
I remember visiting that castle at age 7 back in 1972. (It’s amazing how much I still remember from that trip - 3 weeks, seven countries.) I was able to go back and take my kids there a couple of times while I was stationed in Europe from 2001 - 2008. It is really a special place.
Cool story. Magnificent castle. In addition to our time in Heidelberg, my mom & dad stationed in Stuttgart ‘49-51 as part of the occupation forces. Before I was a gleam in dad’s eye. ;)
What a nice story. Thanks for telling it.
