Natalia Avelon and Otto Steiner Share Black-and-White Photos of Rain-Soaked Wedding

Their Instagram post presents a small civil ceremony turned joyful through improvisation despite heavy rain and pre-wedding injuries.

Overview

  • The couple quietly married in a civil ceremony before the mayor of Oberhaching on July 1 and kept family portraits private.
  • Avelon published a series of black-and-white images on Instagram with the caption “Mr. & Mrs. Steiner,” prompting magazine coverage of the day.
  • Heavy, sustained rain forced the planned outdoor barbecue indoors, led the pair to buy colorful umbrellas and heart-shaped glasses for guests, and ended with dancing in the rain.
  • Both partners were injured in the run-up to the wedding: Avelon suffered a third-degree burn and later spent hours in an emergency department, and Steiner strained his back and saw an orthopedist.
  • The couple were engaged at the end of March during a road trip in Italy, this is Avelon’s first marriage, and Steiner was previously married to actress Mimi Fiedler.
