We look forward to celebrating with you!
We took our time, but now we're more certain than ever. And this is much reason to celebrate. We're inviting you to celebrate love and life in general, as well as our friendship and the many years we've spent together, both near and far. For this we want to welcome you as close to home as possible. The ceremony and reception will all take place in Ober St. Veit, Vienna's "village in the city" where Alice grew up and where we now live. We can't wait to have you!

Bring creativity & your most festive self
Bring your creativity! Our wedding will be a shared celebration, and we would love to have you participating with a poem, toast, song, or anything you feel like performing, proclaiming or doing.
It goes without saying that we want you to be comfortable, so please come as your most festive and expressive self. Anything goes, particularly if it is flamboyant, sustainable, creative and extraordinary :)
Your presence is the greatest gift for us, particularly if you're travelling from abroad! If you do want to give more, we would love a contribution to our honeymoon (destination TBD). Our account details are: Mag. Alice Schmidt, Dr. Jeroen Dobbelaere, IBAN AT94 2011 1293 3701 0600). Please do not give as any *stuff* - we already have all the items we need (and more...)
