I will be 63 at mine

If you get married at 21 and you are a bit older than me then you are likely to be having a 25th wedding anniversary this year. So this explains why I spent the weekend in the depths of the german countryside at The F's sisters 25th Wedding Anniversary celebrating with 90 others in a schutzenfest abode with front cooking?I have no idea what schutzen people do but did manage to pick up a few hints from the locals. Basically from what I could gather men from villages get together, dress up in costumes, drink alot, elect a King for the year, be nice to people and shoot clay birds. Maybe my understanding of the German language is not quite there yet?
However, I had a ball after managing quite by accident to seat myself next to the only camp married man in the room. We twittered in german ( or something) for most of the evening and I went to bed very happy, full of champagne and dreaming of my future life as a Schutzen wife.
