Being non-religious both, we opted for a civil service which would be quick, free and devoid of any lord-thanking. We were told it would be a quick service but I am still shocked as to how short it was. The woman who wed us (who was sporting some kind of animal-print jacket, Leopard I believe) told us that being that the service would be in English it'd be shorter than the normal 3-4 minutes.
After about 90 seconds it was all over and I was invited, and I quote Leopard-Lady, to 'kiss the broad'! I accepted. Just prior to the service I must admit I introduced myself to L-L as Elin. Wasn't nervous. Honestly.
The party at Ängavallen was a triumph. Fantastic food was eaten. Great wine was drunk. Superb, emotive speeches were given (all of which were presented beautifully by toastmaster and blogger extraordinaire, Emma). Then the beer flowed, the dance floor filled, ties were wrapped around heads and a great time was had by all!
Also, I wore spiffing purple braces!
