June 10, 2006
Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig and his wife Kjarstin were honored guests in the city of Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, as the city took time to celebrate its annual reenactment of the “Luther Wedding.” After signing the Golden Book and lunching with the Mayor and his wife and other guests, the Wenig’s observed the wedding parade from an elevated vantage point, and participated in other festivities. The event usually attracts 100,000 visitors to the city for the weekend. Later in the day, they attended a church service for English speakers and a reception, sponsored by the Wittenberg English Ministry, which brings American pastors from around the country to the city for two-week stays from April through October.
