Norwegian Wedding

August 9-13, 2007

A Norwegian wedding! What more can we say? It was awesome.

We were fortunate enough to be among Quinny and Line's guests who could make it to Norway, but we certainly hadn't travelled the furthest. Some of the guests who came from Australia endured mammoth times in transit.

Quinny and Line's 7 month old daughter, Isabelle couldn't stop smiling the whole weekend and definitely has picked up the good looking genes of the pair!

I guess you're wondering what makes a Norwegian wedding different? Not much, but we were belting out a lot of songs in Norwegian during the reception. We all did our best to pronounce the words as accurately and as loudly as possible while trying somehow to keep up with the tempo and at the same time sing the right tune. I think the wine helped us sound pretty good?

The bucks party involved the lads jumping off a 12 metre cliff into a lake. We took it to another level when we followed the young locals and jumped off a tree on a cliff. Then we took a ferry to Sweden and back again, enjoying some fine Scandanavian quisine.

The hens night meanwhile involved go-carting and eating 5kg of shrimp and salad in the sunshine.

It was great to catch up with some college friends who we hadn't seen in a long time.
