For Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) and the journalist Franca Lehfeldt, their three-day wedding continues on Saturday with a church wedding: according to media reports in the St. Severin Church in Keitum.

Afterwards there will be a celebration in the "Zanzibar".

In addition to Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), the guest list also includes CDU party leader Friedrich Merz.

He and his wife landed in a private jet on Sylt on Friday.

Merz himself sat in the cockpit of the plane.

VW CEO Herbert Diess also landed at the island's airport.

On Thursday afternoon, the couple had already married in a civil ceremony in the Sylt Museum.

Sylt's mayor Nikolas Häckel (non-party) acted as registrar.

Lindner and Lehfeldt did not enter the museum, which was closed at the time, through the main entrance.

In addition, those present had been expelled from the museum premises or the street directly in front of it long before the security personnel and police arrived.

Nevertheless, a few dozen people waited behind the barriers diagonally opposite the main entrance.

Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP), "Lion's Den" investor Frank Thelen and the former candidate for chancellor of the CDU Armin Laschet are also invited to the celebration.

A little insight into their preparations for the wedding ceremony and the subsequent celebration can be seen on Instagram.

Lehfeldt posted two photos with guests and signed one with "This one love".

In a short video you can see how the 33-year-old is styled.

It is the second marriage for the 43-year-old Lindner.

He was already married to the journalist Dagmar Rosenfeld.

Lehfeldt is also a journalist.

She works as a political reporter for the Welt news channel, which belongs to the Axel Springer media group.

It was announced last October that she and Lindner had gotten engaged.

"We are overjoyed," said Lehfeldt the broadcaster RTL, for which she was still working.
