The wedding!

Saturday the 10th of November 2012, we got married.

10.11.12.

In Nedre Telemark tingrett, Skien tinghus, the ceremony room, at 12.15.

The day

Daniel woke me up at 8.30am with coffee and breakfast in bed(!), and we enjoyed that together before I had to take off. My mum drove me to Brevik, where I met Annie and Christine, 'cause they were gonna get me all prettied up with Christine's make-up and hair magic! Their dad drove us to the hotel, we were there at about 10am, and started getting ready.

Christine is really good at make-up and hair, and she did an absolutely amazing job. I got dressed in my fancy wedding clothes, and I was really happy with the way everything turned out.

Then my uncle came to pick up me and Annie to go to the court house.

The judge welcomed and greeted us, and our 12 guests took their places, got their cameras ready, and we sat down and got started. Our judge was extremely nice, but her English was pretty bad. But it was still a very good ceremony, and we were surrounded by great family.

My mum and little sister was there, my dad, my uncle, aunt and cousins, my grandma and her husband, my best friend Annie, and my two new brothers: Daniel's brother David and his husband Jakob.
There was a great amount of photos taken, it was a touching ceremony in a tiny, little, nice and intimate room.

We said our "I do's",  put each others rings on each others fingers, had a nice kiss (a bit of a snog perhaps?), and signed the papers.

I was so nervous before the ceremony, I have no idea why. But it was beautiful and I was so happy!


Annie was our photographer, she used my fancy king camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark II) with a 24-70mm F2.8 L lens for the day, and she took some really great photographs.
She and Daniel's brother David took a bunch of nice photos of us and the entire family both inside and outside of the hotel. It was beautiful.

 

After the wedding and the photo shoots at our hotel (and some coffee, didn't get too much sleep the night before), we moved down to the wedding dinner venue. There we got together with more of my family, some I barely get to see, and it was so so nice. We had some really tasty tapas dishes, we got some gifts, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

After all the dinner guests left, a few of our friends came down to the dinner venue to share some left overs and something to drink with us. Together with Annie and Christine (who stayed for dinner), Michelle, Sondre, Benedicte, Daniel and Lexie came down, and we had some elderberry juice, some cava and some more coffee.

After that, we moved our booties up to Arja's apartment, were a big bunch of our friends were! It was amazing to see them all together again! Arja was awesome for lending out her place for the evening, and Ann Charlotte made the place look absolutely lovely, just for us. It was the greatest.

We also got some more cool gifts.

Gosh, I love the people I'm surrounded by!

It was the happiest and greatest day of my life, I got to marry the person I love the absolute most, and I got to celebrate our love and big day with my amazing family, a small part of my lovely new family, and some of my really awesome friends!

Loads of love,
Malin, the new, loving wife!
