KATJA RATHEISER-VESELY

Thereses witness

Therese went to school with Katjas brother Alex. Katjas father was their Mathematics tutor when they both thought they were never going to get their A-Levels. Therese and Katja became friends when they spent their summer holidays in Malaga/Spain, Therese doing a language course and Katja dancing Flamenco.

Katja ist the perfect witness because she is in a similar patchwork situation: She has three kids from two different men and her fiancee Filip brings three more boys into their relationship. Apart from her personal experience, she has hopefully inherited her grandfathers (famous psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, founder of logotherapy) talent for psychology and will be able to stand by Thereses side whenever waters get troubled throughout the marriage. Katja is not only mother and stepmother of a total of six children, she studied law and now works in Communications as one of the most talented copywriters and bloggers in Austria. Her heart and humour have always impressed us!

CHRISTOPH MÜLLER

Thereses witness

Christoph and Therese met in a Belgium spa and liked each other immediately. Christoph did not follow the dress code, so Therese could quickly identify him as a fellow Austrian in this multicultural fitness center. Both of them decided that they were made to be friends only, which is why Christoph has been a permanent relationship consultant for Therese in the last decade and vice versa. Georg fell for Christophs Vorarlberg alpine charm as well when he met him. By chosing Christoph as her witness, Therese is now officially entitled to interrupt him as often as she wants to. For a lifetime.

Christoph Müller serves as Director for Political Co-ordination in the Austrian Federal Chancellery. He is in charge of issues like sustainable development, climate change, energy, environment, agriculture and transport. During the Austrian EU Presidency he prepared the decisions of EU Heads of State and Government regarding an Energy Policy and negotiated the strategy for Sustainable Development . He is a member of the Steering Committee of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative.

JOSEF NEUMAYR

Georgs witness

Josef is probably Georgs oldest friend - he met him at boarding school and Josef has been part of the Bauer Family ever since (knowing all the siblings). When Georg met Therese, she had to be "checked" by Josef before the relationship could go public. He became one of the first friends the couple had in common and has wholeheartedly accompanied Georg and Therese through good days and bad days .

Josef is the mastermind of wonderful flagship projects such as ProjectXChange and Letter to the Stars, both promoting tolerance in a multicultural society. (Holocaust and Migration). Josef is also a great journalist who is acquainted with everybody worth of knowing in Austria and - last but not least - he is father of two children.

KATHARINA HILPOLD

Georgs witness

Katharina was among Georgs first female friends Therese got to meet. At that point of time, she was expecting her oldest child. In the following years, Katharina and Therese have given birth to a total sum of six children on a rotating basis. These circumstances ensure the Hilpold and Bauer family never run out of things to say. Georg and Therese love Katharina for her honesty and for being such a faithful friend. Of all four witnesses, Katharina is the most religious one and although she is catholic, we know she shares our values!

Katharina is busy with her two sons, her daughter and also with her husband Oliver. Having worked for Coca Cola and a business consultancy, she started selling kids & baby articles for Bambani after she had her children. If you can´t decide which stroller to chose, she is definetely the person to talk to. Prepare for a three hour conversation! (at least)
