Star Trek - more than just a TV Series!

NEWSFLASH!!!!! In August 1998, I got married. Why do I mention this in my Star Trek section? Because we were married as a Star Trek couple, complete with uniforms and all. Even the minister donned a uniform for the special occasion. You can find pics and the story here! Be sure to check them out, we really were a sight!!!!

There is so much to say about Star Trek that I have decided to split it up into a few sections:

Don't forget to have a look at my guestbook, and then sign it, too! Oh, and since the guestbook is for all of my pages, not just Star Trek, don't be put off by the definitely non-Star Trek design .... ;o)

By the way, you are visitor number to find out what Star Trek means to me since July, 7th, 1998.

Star Trek -- what it means to me...

I got into STAR TREK only a few years ago, in 1992, when I watched the re-runs of the original series on British television. If you're British, you might remember when they were shown on BBC2, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. In the weeks before, they showed The Next Generation, and that was quite interesting, but the original episodes really got me into it. I got myself a VCR, so that I wouldn't miss an episode when I went to work at the local pub. A few weeks later I was hooked. I found some books at WHSmith, started collecting those as well.
Back in Germany, I went to the cinema for STAR TREK nights, watching all movies in a row. I got invited to visit a Trek Dinner. I started going regularly, once a month, together with my sisters, who are fans as well. We made a lot of friends there, and with some of them we formed a crew, where I was first the on-board Vulcan diplomat and later got promoted to Captain of the U.S.S. LaVayette.
On one of these dinners, I met a really sweet guy. He was Commander, and was only visiting on occasion of the STAR TREK exhibition in Cologne. Otherwise, we would probably never have met. But luckily we did, and we got married in August 1998 this year - in uniform. (Click here if you want to see some pics.)

So you see, STAR TREK has become part of my life. Not only do I enjoy the episodes, both old and new, I also had (and still have) a lot of fun because of it, I have made friends because of it, and I met the love of my life because of STAR TREK. Isn't that a lot for a "simple TV series"?????

And because STAR TREK has become so important to me, I include these pages to my site.
