Hi,

As some of you might already know, Matrix Games' Marc Schwanebeck got married last Friday to his Ute, so PM him your best wishes asap.

The ceremony at the Bonn Town Hall was captured by a live webcam of which the following screenshots are a best-off extract :

But where's his Ute?  It's a very common marriage in Australia, men are fond of their utes.

cheers

Congratulations!



a7v -> RE: A Wargame Wedding (8/25/2008 7:35:22 PM)

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Eheschließung[:)]

Why didn´t you announce your wedding before?

I was passing Bonn this Friday on the A 565 during a business trip[:D]



cdbeck -> RE: A Wargame Wedding (8/25/2008 8:21:19 PM)

Grats Marc!

BTW, the name von Martial sounds much more "wargamer." [;)] You could pass as a 19th century German general now!



Marc von Martial -> RE: A Wargame Wedding (8/25/2008 9:20:12 PM)

Okay here's the answer.

Ute's family is old german nobility (sorry guys no castles or any kind of wealth left [;)]), it is coming from her mothers branch.

It is more or less tradition that the husbands either take over the name of Ute's family branch or take a double name. I did not want the double name thing myself (credit cards fields are not long enough for that, LOL) so I decided to take over the name.

So officially I'm even a Freiherr (in english that translates over to Baron I think) now, LOL. How's that for a wargamer [;)]

The branch in the Rhineland origins of Maximilian Carl von Martial (Johann Baptist Maximilian Carl von Martial / Jean Baptiste de Martial) the guy has a pretty interesting story, for you history buffs.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_Carl_von_Martial

In German - Executive summary : minor noble family of Burgundian/Walloon origin - fought well against the Turks - became advisor to his Rhineland Count - over time made it to Fieldmarshall & Freiherr and managed to become wealthy in the process.

Not a bad career [;)]

Titanwarrior89 -> RE: A Wargame Wedding (8/25/2008 11:18:05 PM)
