BACK TO 9/08/07 A Wedding in Norway

On the 9th of August (yes, sorry it has been a while - we`ve been busy on holidays) we woke up at 4 am to take the plane to Oslo in Norway. One of Jane`s friends from college was to be married to a Norwegian girl. Despite the early start we enjoyed the hens and bucks parties that night. The boys went swimming in the local water supply, jumping off a 7m cliff into the water. Then they took the ferry to Sweden and came back after a 15 minute stop over (apparently what happens in Sweden stays in Sweden). The girls ate lots of prawns and played silly games long into the night.
The wedding ceremony was held at 1pm Saturday afternoon followed by drinks at the local soccer club, reception at a wonderful steak restaurant and finally, coffee, cake and dancing back at the soccer club. A great time was had by all.

Although we didn`t see a lot of Norway due to lack of transport we had a lovely catch up with a group of the Hildas people and met the newly wed`s beautiful baby girl, Isobelle.
