Being cultural

Well I have finally booked the music for the wedding...which still has no date and more importantly dosen't have a bride...
But before you take me for a complete gay wedding planner I should probably start from the Beginning. On the 4th of april my good friend PJ told me that his friend Jeroen was coming to Denmark and since my parents had left me the car I told him that I could go get him at the airport. So on the 5th PJ, Jeroen and I sat at my favorite cafe in Copenhagen (Europa, mainly cause they have the best coffe, best service and Le Monde) and Jeroen offered me to go to a concert that was being held by some friends of his. Turns out that his friends in the Belcea Quartet not only is an amazing string quartet, but they were also opening the classical music season at Tivoli's concert hal, which is a one of the mayor venues in Copenhagen. So we went to the concert where they played Hayden (who is always a bit sleepy for me), Britten who I had never heard before but which I loved and Mozart who is always a favorite. After the concert we went to the backstage and met them. They were all really hungry and since all the restaurants had closed in Tivoli, I proposed that we go to the Thai Restaurant that I work in. I called and they kept the kitchen op for 30 min. more then usual. I have never seen people so happy to eat a proper meal. Afterwards PJ, Jeroen, Corinna Belcea, a friend of Corinnas and I went out for drinks. After having been the butler for them Corinna told me that they didn't know how to thank me so I told them that they could play at my wedding if I ever found a women crazy enough to marry me. So she agreed to play, so well thats one thing out of the way...
Check out the Belcea Quartet should you have the possibility http://www.amcmusic.com/eng/artisti_scheda.php?aId=11... but you will probably see them at my wedding too...
