Nicole: Dream wedding with her Winfried! But she was warned...
Article by Katrin • 1 day • 2 minutes reading time
Pop star Nicole was one of the lucky ones who hit the jackpot with her first love. As a singer, she was only 19 years old when she said yes to Winfried Seibert in 1984 - completely classic and normal in her home village. But she was warned beforehand...
Success never went to Nicole's head: At 16, Nicole landed a mega hit in 1981 with "Flieg nicht zu hoch, mein kleiner Freund" and won the Eurovision Song Contest a year later with "Ein bisschen Frieden".
Despite her fame, the girl from Saarland always remained attached to her home. At just 14, Nicole had found the man of her dreams: car mechanic Winfried Seibert. "It hit me like a bolt of lightning. I knew immediately that I had been lucky and that I had to hold on to it," she said, describing the day she fell in love with "Wini" at a fire department party. He felt the same way. But the couple faced opposition. So-called friends warned Nicole that her career was more important and the relationship wouldn't last anyway...
Well, five years after they met, Nicole accepted his marriage proposal. The supposed friends were a thing of the past...
Nicole: dream wedding at home
Nicole and her "Wini" celebrated in a very down-to-earth way, with all the traditions that were common in her home village of Nohfelden. The highlight of the three-day celebrations in 1984 was the church wedding. "I had a feeling as if someone up there had said to me: Yes, take him!" Nicole still raves about that day today. When a white carriage was waiting for the two of them in front of the church, it couldn't have been more romantic for them.
Today they can look back and see that they did everything right. Nicole and Winfried are still very, very happy.
