Bschoad Essn






My boyfriend's brother got married on saturday at the cute little Belvedereschlössl in Stockerau. :D

Above you can see what my boyfriend's mother and I baked for the agape after the wedding, there were also "Grammel-Pogatscherl" and rolls and of course sparkling wine.

(This is what I wore: Jsk and Ring: Lily of the Valley, Socks: H&M, Bolero: C&A, Shoes: Deichmann, Bag: Ebay, Necklace: gift from my grandmother)

After the marriage we went to a hotel on the Tulbinger Kogel (a hill), where we got the greatest meal I've eaten in a long time. It consisted of carpaccio, zucchini soup, grilled fish, roasted lamb with dumplings and marzipan covered strawberries with chocolate mousse.
Between each course we played little games like letting balloons fly, playing dart, blowing bubbles, making silly photos with moustaches on sticks...

We left quite early because my boyfriend's granny was there with us and she is almost 90 and so we couldn't celebrate all night.

When we said goodbye we got our "Bschoad Essn" (which means approximately "food to let someone know" in austrian dialect).
This is an old tradition from back then when one person of a family couldn't attend the wedding and had to stay at home to feed the cattle and look after the house. To comfort this person the other family members were given the Bschoad Essn to bring it home. It usually contained a piece of wedding cake or something similiar.
Our Bschoad Essn were cookies delicious cookies (and they were so delicious I couldn't snap a picture of the full box!)
