Party Week

We will be staying at the venue all week. Please comeby and visit us. We would love to spend a lot of time with all of you!

Welcome Party

Carcara Vila, Ragusa, Sicily

In Italy it's traditional for the groom to have a boom box outside the brides window the evening before the wedding. So that's what we are doing. Totally casual with pizza.

Wedding Day

What we wish

Wedding Gift

Please don't bring anything physical, but if you'd like to give a gift then we ask for any cash/Swish that you think would be appropriate.

As we come from different countries there are somethings that may differ... And many of you aren't Swedes or Aussies. We will get in to some of the details on what to expect!

The ceremony will take place at the venue. Starting at 4.30pm afterwards we will have some mingling and canapes by our super cool pool. Here we will serve Sicilian treats.

We will have the reception dinner in the courtyard of the house. 

Please let us know if you have any specific dietary restrictions. 

In Sweden we don’t have a set agenda for who will speak at a wedding. You can check in with our MC / Toast Master Elin on WhatsApp (phone number on the invite). But please be aware that your speech should be less than 3 min. 

We have a few traditions we will do, and there will be some you haven’t experienced before. Here are some things to expect. 

  • Whenever the bride or groom leaves during the dinner, you may sneak up and steal a kiss (on the cheek). So when Emma leaves the ‘room’ Ryan is free-for-all.
  • Vikning: After midnight during a party, it’s customary to serve a meal in Sweden. As we are in Italy we will do pizza somewhere around 1am. 
  • Spex: lots of singing..
  • Party the night before.
  • First dance.
  • Cake cutting.

 

If you have any fun traditions please let us know.
