Two strangers met in Berlin. Here’s how they ended up having ‘three weddings’
Gayface thread.
Suki Sandhu always insists Manuel Heichlinger “made a beeline” for him that first evening in Berlin.
When Manuel entered the Kaefer restaurant, a rooftop spot on top of Germany’s Reichstag parliament building, Suki noticed him right away.
“I saw him walk in and I thought, ‘He’s quite hot. He’s quite handsome. That must be someone from the German office,’” says Suki. “But I always ignore the hot guy – I’m like, they probably already get enough attention as it is, just ignore them.”
Suki genuinely had no intention of speaking with Manuel that night. But the next thing he knew, Manuel had unexpectedly made eye contact with him. Then, more unexpected, Manuel was smiling at Suki.
And then – Suki truly couldn’t believe it – Manuel was crossing the room, walking in his direction. Suki held his breath.

I read the article hoping it was going to turn into a Brick Shithouse post. It didn’t.

Cute, but….where’s the beef? Their story reads rather typical and is not very interesting, yet CNN had to document every boring detail of their courtship…

The German one has a good face but they both are very puffy.

"There was more dancing – this time Suki, Manuel and their friends choreographed a flash mob to the Justin Timberlake song “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”"

What the fuck? That's weird and random...
I know one of these guys from high school.

Germans have a lot of PTO. Having two weddings is not uncommon--you're required to marry at the official registry office, many then do a big church or American-style wedding in addition.

Three weddings is three weddings too many.
The female colleague must have been really drunk to find the British one gorgeous.

I'm going to release 99 Luftballons in celebration of their love.

I think Manuel is very attractive. Plus he'll have a yummy uncut German cock.

The well-intentioned story reads as rather pointless unless we are to believe that the infinite chronicling of every detail = love triumphs over all. The couple and their weddings have a different style than my own, but it's their lives and their weddings. If they're happy, I'm delighted for them.
Three weddings is maybe not so ridiculous. At least it's not a case of 'Oh, fuck, again? Who is it this time? Should I even bother to learn the name?'
I was married in one country in significant part to clear the way for my husband to live there.. Now that we have settled permanently in my husband's native country, I would marry again (a simple civil ceremony as before) here if there were any reversal on gay marriage in my native country. And if did that, we would have some sort of wedding party for friends and family. Two legal weddings and a party.
I know one gay man who has had I don't know how many weddings - to the same man. Five? Maybe six? From the earliest recognition of gay civil unions in the U.S. through various steps toward legalization of gay marriage.

Actually, it should be 3 sets of 99 Luftballons. This story is not over the top enough.

I prefer the German. The other has a huge smile where he shows the top and bottom rows of his teeth. Freaks me out.

Thank you R19 - we saw it in the story but I could see your thumbnail. There was quite a bit more to the photo so I have posted the full version below:

Germans have tacky taste in general, even the homos. The German guy Manuel was handsome but he's "blousy" now. How many chins, there? 3? 4? Speaking of blouses. Manuel's does not fit and Suki's, I don't know what that is, but it needs a pussy-bow.
snark aside, they seem sweet.

Thanks. Snark about their fashion taste aside, it seems a true love match and they are happy!

It's interesting how for some people relationships fall into place effortlessly , while the rest of us spend time, money and heartache with no ROI. God sure made life interesting. All the best to them, they seem to have similar value systems which is the important thing.

They’re not ordinary gays - that would have been more interesting to read. Both are social climbers in London. Just saw Suki’s Facebook page. Ugh. Desperate.

They’re only interesting if the German goes by Fuki as a nickname.

Yes socialites. Thus Suki's embrace of The Male Pearl in accessorizing and bedazzling.

They probably don't have sex. Too busy planning weddings and their smiles lead to punchable faces.

R37 I worked that out from the fact they had three weddings. One wedding screams "look at me", so what about three?!
