Naumburger Hochzeit When an East German chick you knew fifteen years ago (not pictured) who successfully protested her government as a student -- meaning, protested until the government fell -- and went on to do well in American public TV and marry a Muslim anthropologist, only to bring all her friends and all her husband's friends back to eastern Germany for a wedding celebration, and cart them around in a bus until it seems like the bus itself is the party, filled as it is with a huge mix of rowdy foreigners that the little town has probably never seen, in its thousand years or so of existence -- at least not driving backwards down a lane in a giant tour bus, singing The Scorpions out of tune -- um, well, the only thing I can imagine improving on a party like that is if your date lights up a cigar.
