4. My high school graduation was held in the Heidelberg Castle.

5. My sister was married in the Heidelberg castle.

6. I met my husband during my sister’s wedding preparations, and we eloped 6 weeks later because we wanted to be married, but neither of us like the stress and visibility of a wedding.

  2. My family lived in Heidelberg for 10 years. It’s an unforgettable city, and I have never lived anywhere as long as I lived there, except Alaska.
