For Christian Lindner and Franca Lehfeldt, the wedding marathon on Sylt continues: after the wedding on Thursday, a bachelorette party was on the agenda. The wedding in a church on Saturday is eagerly awaited.
For Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) and the journalist Franca Lehfeldt, it is three days full of ceremonies and celebrations: After the civil wedding on Thursday, according to information from the German Press Agency, there was a bachelorette party on Friday. The couple plans to get married in a church on Saturday.
According to media reports, it is the St. Severin Church in Keitum. According to reports, there will be a celebration in the “Zanzibar” in the evening. Accordingly, numerous celebrities should be on the guest list – including Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and CDU party leader Friedrich Merz.
Onlookers had to wait
On Thursday, the first curious people and journalists had been waiting for the couple on the meadow in front of the Sylt Museum and on the street in front of it since the morning. The couple then got married in a civil ceremony in the Sylt Museum in the afternoon. However, the onlookers only got to see it after saying yes. Sylt’s mayor Nikolas Häckel (non-party) acted as registrar.
The North Frisian island is a popular holiday destination for celebrities and is also often chosen for weddings. A wedding like that of Christian Lindner serves the cliché of the celebrity island, said the Sylt Vice President of the German Hotel and Restaurant Association, Raphael Ipsen, the “Hamburger Abendblatt”. “We hosts can live with that, in any case it increases the level of awareness of Sylt as a wedding location. And anyone can get married here, it’s not reserved for VIPs.”
Lindner and Lehfeldt did not enter the museum, which was closed at the time, through the main entrance. In addition, those present had been expelled from the museum premises or the street directly in front of it long before the security personnel and police arrived. However, a few dozen people waited behind the police barriers diagonally opposite the main entrance – and were rewarded: the newlywed couple came out of the main entrance, kissed and went to their car. They waved to the numerous curious onlookers and journalists who had been waiting for the couple.
Photos on Instagram
A little insight into their preparations for the wedding ceremony and the subsequent celebration can be seen on Instagram. Lehfeldt posted two photos with guests and signed one with “This one love”. In a short video you can see how the 33-year-old is styled.
It is the second marriage for the 43-year-old Lindner. He was already married to the journalist Dagmar Rosenfeld. Lehfeldt is also a journalist. She works as a political reporter for the Welt news channel, which belongs to the Axel Springer media group. It was announced last October that she and Lindner had gotten engaged. “We are overjoyed,” said Lehfeldt the broadcaster RTL, for which she was still working.
