On the Friday night we invited all the guests to come out for some food and drinks at the local bar Apotekergården. Our friends and family took it upon themself to fill the night with live music. For the big day we wanted the ceremony to be outside, and we decided on Fjæreheia because of its beauty and because of Maren’s love for the theatre. We almost cancelled due to rain, but luckily it cleared up for the ceremony and the photoshoot. The reception was at an old boat building house. We knew that the room wouldn’t fit as many as we wanted to invite, which made the planning hard.

But still, we loved the messy room. It represented us as a couple: messy surroundings, but filled with love.

The whole weekend was perfect. We are looking back at so many fun stories, dancemoves, great food, awesome speeches, and lots of laughter.  

Maren is a photographer herself, and it was very important for her to find the perfect photographer. When Girts came up, we both fell in love with his raw, nature way of capturing the moments. He has a special style taking photos of both nature and humans, and he knows how to mix these two together. We are happy to say that he delivered above expectations, and he really captured the story of the weekend for us, which we will treasure forever.

For other brides and grooms to be we would say, beside getting an awesome photographer, choice your toastmasters with great consideration. So many things could have gone wrong in our wedding, but it didn’t thanks to our toastmasters being above great at their job.
