Event Note

"Ik wyt noch dat wy mei de hynstetram nei Moarmwâld ta gienen dart jimme heit en mem doe trouden op it gemeenthûs en dernei gienen wy mei koetsen mei hynders der foar nei Driesum ta want der waard de brulloft hâlden by Tsjomme-Tsjits (en wy mochten sa folle iten as wy mar wy mar woenen. In hiel grut feest wier dat!"
- Adzer Hamstra, letter to Tjitske Westera, p7, June 20, 1995 (Frisian language).

English translation:
"I still remember that we went with a horse-drawn tram to Murmerwoude when your father and mother married at the municipal hall. Afterward we went with horse-drawn carriages to Driesum, because that is where the wedding feast was held at Tsjomme and Tsjits. (We could eat as much as we wanted.) It was a really big party!"
