The years first wedding was on the 4th of August 2006 in Helsinki. Actually Satu and Pete arranged events from the 3rd and until the 5th so it was litteraly a 3-day-wedding. It was laso Andreas first flight and she took it really well.

On the 3rd we got into Helsinki at mid day and checked into our hotel. A lot of old friends was coming to the wedding and we hung around with them during the days which was pretty cool. In the evening we went to pre-wedding drinks in a really high building with a great view over Helsinki.

On the 4th we got to the ceremony in a really hot glass covered room and after that for a refreshing saliing trip to go to the reception site. The site was Fortress of Suomenlinna a world heritage site outside Helsinki and really beautiful. In a huge hall tables was set up for I guess 200 people and great space for all the children (more than 25!) to play.

The evening ended with lots of AIESEC dancing and singing since roughly 25% of the guests was realted to AIESEC in some way.

On the 12th of August we went to one of two weddings were we were invited on this day. Lotte Madsen (now Jacobsen) and Christian E. Jacobsen (aka CJ) said yes to eachother.

(Yes I know that I'm way behind on the updates!) The other wedding was Sandras cousin Richard and was held in Colombia.

This one was a nice church wedding with following reception in Roskilde at the habour close to the Wiking-ship museum. A very nice restaurant made excellent food, funny speaches (though the longer into night the funnier the performance), plenty of drinks and cool live music where I got to play som air-guitar.

Bride and groom, Karina and Thomas (now also married), and Sandra and I closed the pary around 4 in the morning after a great party and a little too much whiskey.

Karina and Thomas wedding was on the 9th of September 2006. A big tent in their frontyard was the dining area, various tables in their backyard was the pre-dinner drinks and tappas arena and their porch was the lounge and bar.

A great setup for a great day where the sun was shining for the first time in 3-4 weeks! Great planning for this beautiful wedding.

The home-like made you really feel at home with them and with excellent'e food, wine and drinks.

A great mix of serious speeches and funny acts and all finished in plenty of time before midnight left lots of time to talk, hang out in the lounge, try out the 74 different drinks before Karina and Thomas left the place around 3-something in the morning. At that time people was still making bread over open fire in the backyard.

Taking the weddings in reverse order since time to update the page lately have been tight.

We went to 4 weddings the last 2 months and the last one was on the 23rd of September 2006 in Hobro! The invitation was a bit weird since it didn't say specifically that it was a wedding so everyone was confused. It did say that everyone should dress according to the weather no matter what weather we got.

Showing up in the garden of Vicki and Søren at the invitation date and time they showed up in jeans and T-shirt. It still didn't seem anything like a wedding. We were asked to walk with them and we walked across town to the habour where a nice, large ship was entering (Bessie Ellen). We were invited onboard in our festive clothes and with the hosts in their casual clothes.

It was not until Vicki and Søren finally dissapeared for a while and showed up in a white wedding dress (Vicki that is!) and a smoking that everybody was certain about what was going to happen. They got married on the ship on a great, sunny day in the middle of Mariager Fjord.

Afterwards we went back to the shipyard and the party took place on the boat!

A great wedding, a very different style than the other weddings we went to, a great atmosphere and a focus on everybody having a good time.

Congratiulations to Vicki and Søren!

I finally got some new fotos online. They are mostly from June and July 2006 so not that old!

Here we go: Fotos from Andreas bath in our little garden, Sandra signing the contract from Mærsk, Andrea walking with her Gå-vogn, our visit in Gilleleje where Kanna & Gunnar rented a summerhouse and Thomas' 33rd birthday with garden work.

Soon we will see fotos from all the weddings we attended in August and September! Stay tuned!

For more than a month Andrea has been takeing a few steps but never enough for us to say that she was walking.

But today she finally is walking around with more steps so this will be the official date for her walking abilities.
