Tom & Femke: now Mr & Mrs. Wurdinger!

On Saturday, November 4, it so happened that Ivan was speaking to Tom via Skype. Tom casually mentioned that "he was going to get married". When Ivan asked "when?" he got the incredible reply "in two hours from now". When it was clear this was no joke but a fact, the machinery got in action. Ivan mobilized all his friends and even Tom's brother and worked out a high-tech scheme. The result was that exactly two hours later we were witnessing Tom and Femke's wedding on a large video screen in the local watering hole, the famous "BOK's Place". This was a truly simultaneous dual-nation wedding-party between Boston and Enkhuizen and even the Officer of the Peace, who conducted the ceremony, took time to address the crowd in the Netherlands over this live video connection. All in all a clear triumph of technical skills, improvisation and true friendship. Congratulations to Tom and Femke. Well done !
