Sorry, very late. Lots and lots to recap.
Evening before the wedding:ApartmentChristian's on the phone with Gregor. Luises's in labour, they can't make it to the wedding.
Christian's sad. 'Well okay, then nobody from my family's coming." Olli tries to comfort him. Stella and Carla are stuck in Cambodia.
All the roommates are eating ice cream out of one bowl. Olli's feeding Christian. Olli says his family isn't much better. Apart from Charlie nobody's gonna show up. Lars has an important lawsuit to take care of, Olivia is not worth discussing and his mother…
'It'll be okay', says Christian. 'Can you even marry with just one witness to marriage?', Consti wants to know. Sure you can, replies Christian, and then asks Andi to be his best man. Andi would love to.
Helena opens the door. Rebecca and Lydia storm inside "Kidnapping of the bride!", they scream. They grab Olli and tell them that it's bad luck if the bridal couple spend the night before the wedding together. The girls are dragging him to the door. 'Can I have a goodbye kiss?', Christian asks. Olli has three minutes to pack his stuff, Lydia says. First he kisses Christian, then he disappears to the bedroom, Lydia in tow.
Olli with Rebecca, Helena, Lydia and Nico at the castle
Christian with AndI and Constantin in the apartmentThe girls and Olli toast to the bridal couple.
The guys toast to "the end of freedom". Christian wants to know what that's supposed to mean. That he's going to be a boring husband, starting tomorrow, Andi explains to him. They mock Christian: He's already got the felt slippers! Christian says he's an awesome trained super-middleweight and that's the way he's gonna stay. The guys are getting drunk. 'And tomorrow', Christian says in a slurred voice, 'I'm marrying the man of my life!'.
Back to the castle 'Seventh heaven, here I come', says Olli, 'if only Christian was here'. You'll be dreaming of your wedding alone tonight, says Rebecca, 'as is right and proper'. Olli doubts that he'll be sleeping at all. Nico tells him to think about the fact that nothing can ever separate them again. 'That's right!' 'Right, like in a fairytale, and they lived happily ever after', adds Helena.
'Yes, they will', says a cheerful Olli, 'Christian and me, we belong together! Cheers to that!'
Morning of the wedding:Castle The girls are heaving breakfast. Rebecca has to go to the jewelery store and fetch the rings, she plans to pick up Andi at the flat share on her way to the church. Lydia wants to know where Olli is and Rebecca tells her that he's too nervous to eat anything.
ApartmentChristian stumbles into the living room. 'Shit!', a look at his watch 'Shit!'. He hurries into the bathroom, comes outside with a toothbrush in his mouth. 'Constantin! Andi!', he yells, 'we've overslept!!!'
Andi and Constantin come running into the living room, they can't believe they've overslept either. 'My own wedding and I'm oversleeping!', says Christian while hurrying to get dressed.
Olli comes running down the stairs at the castle. The girls are waiting for him in the entrance hall. Olli needs help with his tie. Helena tells him to relax, they've got plenty of time. Rebecca helps him to fix his tie…
… while Constantin helps Christian. Andi tells them that Rebecca will come and pick him up, so they can already drive to the church. 'Hurry up!' Christian shouts at Constantin. Constantin needs five minutes to get ready himself. Christian's trying to jump into his pants. He can't find his shoes. Andi tells him to relax, everything will work out fine.
Olli's dressed now (handsome!!!), but the shoes are missing. He bends down to get them and … his trousers rip. 'Nice underwear!', Rebecca says (red underwear FTW!) 'Oh my god!', he says.
In font of the church Charlie's talking to Niklas on the phone, he's obviously sick.
Christian and Consti arrive. Christian greets her with a kiss on the cheek. 'Is Olli already here?', he wants to know. 'No, you're the first, but timeliness has never been one of my nephew's virtues', Charlie replies.
'Let me have a look at you! Very elegant! But what's with the shoes?' Christian couldn't find the right ones… and remembers where they are. He calls Andi and tells him to bring his shoes.
Castle kitchenRebecca's sewing Olli's pants. Olli wants her to hurry up and use a sewing machine, she says that it'll look bad if she does. Olli's in his suit, without the pants : ). Helena tells him that they still have enough time. She's just saying that so he'll remain calm, says Olli. What if Christian thinks he had second thoughts? What's the time anyway? Lydia tells him to shut up and not to make Rebecca nervous.
In front of the church'Where's Olli? Maybe he had second thoughts?', wonders Christian. Charlie: 'Why should he?' Christian: 'No idea! Maybe something happened to him!' Miriam tells him to remain calm, he's just way too early. 'Too early? I'm almost half an hours too late! The ceremony should've started 10 minutes ago!'
Miri takes a look at his watch, it's one hour fast. Christian: 'What?' Everybody starts laughing at Christian.
CastleOlli's very nervous. Rebecca finally finished sewing up his pants. He runs off with them. The girls stop him and tell him to put them on!
ApartmentRebecca explains to Andi why she's late and runs into the bathroom. Andi's putting one of the rings on his finger, and can't get it off. They try oil and soap foam… and the ring literally goes down the drain.
In front of the churchMrs Linse is so happy for them, she shakes Christian's hand. Well, there's no reason to be happy yet. It's not certain that Olli will show up at all. He should've been there long ago.
Sebastian, Lydia, Helena, Nico aaaaand Olli climb out of the car. Consti tells Nico that she looks fabulous. 'And what about me?', Olli wants to know.
Christian: 'I thought you'd leave me standing in front of the altar.' Olli turns around to him, they smile at each other. 'Are you crazy?' They kiss. 'Can we start now?' Christian tells everyone to go inside.
Henriette arrives 'Stop!', she yells, 'wait a moment!'. Charlie's afraid that she'll try to stop the wedding.
In the apartment Andi's trying to find the ring in the drain. All I'm saying is that Rebecca gets wet. See for yourself. ;D Andi finds the ring.
In front of the churchOlli's arguing with his mother. She mustn't think she can stop the wedding, he loves Christian, doesn't matter if she likes it or not. Henriette tells him that he's her son and she wants him to be happy. She can see that Christian makes Olli happy and that's why she doesn't care what the neighbors say, she wants her son to be happy. That's why she wanted to ask if she can come into the church too. Sure she can! They embrace.
In the churchThey stand in front of the altar, talking to the pastor, waiting for the maid of honor and best man, making small talk. Pastor Hinze tells Christian and Olli to relax and they start breathing together. Finally Andi and Rebecca arrive. Christian's putting his shoes on. The pastor says, they've gathered to unite Christian and Olli in front of God. He asks the guests to rise.
Christian and Olli have prepared their own speeches.
They turn to each other (camp fire music starts).
They're holding hands. Olli: Christian Mann, I love you. You're the one I've been waiting for forever. My dream man, my soul mate, my second half. I want to share my life with you, forever, no matter what happens. That's why I'm asking you, if you want that too.
Christian: Yes, I do!
Chrsistian: Oliver Sabel. You showed me what it means to love each other and be there for each other. How to argue and how to make up. (He makes a slip of the tongue first, says "verwöhnen" instead of "versöhnen" (meaning 'indulge/spoiling', instead of make up. LOL.) You showed me how to rise above oneself and how to dare something in life. You showed me who I really am and that's why...
Olli interrupts him: Yes, I do, too!
They exchange rings.
The pastor gives them the church's blessing. They look at each other. He says they can kiss now… and they do. Everyone starts applauding. They've tears in their eyes and kiss again.
More on Monday. I'm off on vacation. Lizkarita will provide the recaps for you next week.
