A wedding officiant reveals: An inflatable boat and a fruit salad have something to do with love. Christian Tannek has married over 100 couples in the past five years.

He has long since experienced not only romantic love, but also many other forms of love. Even today, when he tells some of the stories, they move him so much that he sometimes sheds tears. For some, love is so “beautiful that it can hurt”, for others it means being able to stick your head under the hood of an old car with your fingers smeared with oil.
