The setting was stunning, with the ceremony held at the bride&#8217;s family&#8217;s luxurious holiday villa,\u00a0and the reception at a nearby beachside restaurant. It felt surreal sipping cocktails by the beach, when\u00a0only a few hours earlier we had been stuck in the flat working, with torrential rain pouring down outside. But as beautiful as\u00a0Portugal\u00a0was, and as great as it was to see our friends, we\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0help but feel homesick for Berlin. We&#8217;ve finally found somewhere we can call home and as crazy as it is, it&#8217;s just hard to be away from that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0092.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1711\" title=\"IMG_0092\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0092.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0092.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0092-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0981.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_06652.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1717\" title=\"IMG_06652\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_06652.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_06652.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_06652-300x97.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_1015-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0981.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1714\" title=\"IMG_0981\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0981.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0981.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0981-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><br \/> <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_1015-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1715\" title=\"IMG_1015 (1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_1015-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_1015-1.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_1015-1-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ssb-share ssb-share-1710 defualt' post_id='1710' >\n<div class=\"defualt-button-fb\">  <iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/portuguese-paradise\/&amp;width&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=false&amp;height=21&amp;appId=743541755673761\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>  \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"defualt-button-twitter\">  \t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/portuguese-paradise\/\">Tweet<\/a>    \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"postMeta\">\n<div class=\"postDate\"><span>Published:<\/span> <abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2011-06-27T11:21:00+0000\"><a href=\"\/2011\/06\/27\/\">June 27, 2011<\/a><\/abbr><\/div>\n<div class=\"categories\"><span>Filed Under:<\/span> <a href=\"\/category\/travel\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Travel<\/a><\/div>\n<p>         \t<span>Tags:<\/span> <a href=\"\/tag\/algarve\/\" rel=\"tag\">Algarve<\/a> : <a href=\"\/tag\/portugal\/\" rel=\"tag\">Portugal<\/a>        \t         \t          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>               \t<!-- You can start editing here. <!-- --> <\/p>\n<div id=\"comments\">\n<h3 id=\"comments\">6 Responses to &#8220;Portuguese Paradise&#8221;<\/h3>\n<div class=\"navigation\">\n<div class=\"alignleft\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"alignright\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ol class=\"commentlist\">\n<li class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1 parent\" id=\"comment-1890\">\n<div id=\"div-comment-1890\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"> \t\t\t<img alt='' src='http:\/\/0.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9a2a8efdad71d91c195f0d103b864983?s=48&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='http:\/\/0.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9a2a8efdad71d91c195f0d103b864983?s=96&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-48 photo' height='48' width='48' \/>\t\t\t<cite class=\"fn\">Raquel<\/cite> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-meta commentmetadata\"><a href=\"\/portuguese-paradise\/#comment-1890\"> \t\t\tJuly 2, 2011 at 2:40 pm<\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Can&#8217;t believe I missed this post!
