SISTE NYTT: Transport, fotografering og diverse

Så er det en dag igjen!... Vi gleder oss vanvittig, og kan si at de siste dagene har vært vanvittige!


Siste minutts info til alle:

  • Fotografering inne i kirken må skje uten blitz, helst ved brudens inngang og brudeparets utgang.
  • Første rekke til venstre og til høyre side av alteret er reservert brudens/brudgommens familier og slekt.
  • Riskasting er forbudt da dette kan skade duene.
  • Vi booker taxier fra Kirken til Hellerup Park Hotel.
PS: for dere som kjører selv, kan man parkere ved siden av kirken (gaten til høyre for inngangen) mot betaling. Bilene kan evt. parkeres allerede på Hellerup Hotels parkeringsplass, (da det kan være vanskelig å finne plass midt i byen) og så ta taxi derfra til kirken (10-15 min).

  • Velkomstdrinker serveres fra 16.00 og utover, og vi regner med å sette oss til bords fra 17.30. 


Velkommen alle kjære Gjester!

Bridezilla - "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"




Just for the fun of it: here she is, the terrible female! Beware!
Can you believe I felt like this recently..
Barely three weeks to go and the to-do list seems to increase; or have we forgotten things along the way?

Don't worry, you won't see this walking down the aisle..

NB: NEW INFORMATION WEDDING RECEPTION & DINNER

Kjære Gjest, (see below for English)

vi fikk nylig en liten sky på vår ellers solfylte april-himmel:
grunnet en tvist mellom vår kjære utvalgte restaurant Nokken og deres utleiere er Nokken midlertidig lukket.

Vi har valgt å flytte bryllupsmottagelsen samt middagen til Restaurant Saison's selskapslokaler i Hellerup Park Hotel; litt utenfor København i vakre omgivelser i fasjonable Hellerup, kun 15 min. fra Kirken.

Adresse: Strandvejen 203, 2900 Hellerup
Ruteplan: http://map.krak.dk/m/aJPrq

http://www.saison.dk/
http://www.hellerupparkhotel.dk/

Vennligst notér følgende programendring:
14.30: Bryllup/vigsel i Vor Frue Kirke (uendret)

fra 16.00: Mottagelse & påfølgende middag i restaurant Saison's selskapslokaler ved Hellerup Park Hotel (om værgudene tillater det, byr vi på velkomstdrink i den naturskjønne park utenfor hotellet)

ps: vi vender tilbake ang. transport fra Kirken!




Dear Guest,

recently a small incident clouded over our sunny April skies:
Due to a dispute between our beloved restaurant Nokken and its owners, Nokken is temporarily closed until further notice.

We have chosen to relocate our wedding reception and dinner to Restaurant Saison's banquet facilities in Hellerup Park Hotel.
In lovely surroundings outside Copenhagen, in chic residential Hellerup only 15 min. from the Church.

Address: Strandvejen 203, 2900 Hellerup
Route: http://map.krak.dk/m/aJPrq

Please note the following change:
14.30: Wedding Ceremony at Church of Our Lady (unchanged)

from 16.00: Reception followed by dinner at Hellerup Park Hotel (if the weather is fine, we will serve welcome drinks in the park opposite the hotel)

ps: we will get back to you concerning transportation from the Church!

Spring is in the Air



"Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister.
Varför skulle annars våren tveka?
Varför skulle all vår heta längtan 
bindas i det frusna bitterbleka?
Höljet var ju knoppen hela vintern.
Vad är det för nytt, som tär och spränger?
Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister,
ont för det som växer
och det som stänger"
...
(Karin Boye, fra 'Ja visst gör det ont')


Våren er på vei. En skarpere sol, himmelen nesten gjennomsiktig, jorden pulserer og vekster river seg smertefullt frem. Nakne trær sprer skygger som fingre over asfalt. Natten er fløyel og full av lyder. Byene myldrer og har sin egen støvete duft. 
Alt er skjørere, gyllent, glassaktig, det er en galskap i vinden. 

Jeg elsker denne tiden.
