Introduction

Our wedding became just as perfect as we could have dreamed, wished and hoped for. It turned out perfect in every way possible.

Imagine and consider the following facts; due to our special way of meeting online, apply for Engagement Permit almost 1 year in advance, we still had to set a date for Church wedding and without knowing when Cherry May could actually be present in Norway with me. That gave us whatever time we had left from the initial decision from UDI towards our offical and preset wedding date.

In a remarkable way of dedication, very focused planning and working together, we managed to finalize the wedding from start (mid August) to finish in just approx. 6.5 weeks, or around 49 days! Whoa!

That also included finding the accessories, the dresses, the decoration, the invitations, creating the Wedding Invitation Teaser and searching for everything else a beautiful wedding consists of. During which time Stein was naturally at work 8 hours a day too. Brings the "old regular thought" of starting 1 year in advance a thing of the past indeed. Not only that, but 95% (ca. 74 guests) of the visitors that received a unique invitation could be present in either the Church or in the Church+Venue with only days of notification. Thank you all so much!

If you have to do it by the book, make sure it's your own!

Surprise Guest Song

Stein's work colleagues surprised us during the evening event with live singing,
guitar and a multitude of gifts from all corners. Additionally they made a special
song for Stein and Cherry May with pictures from our previous postings on our website.

The song is in Norwegian and tells the story in form of a "marketing way" how we met, waited
and finally could be together in Norway with the finale of our wedding. They choose the
"marketing way", naturally since Stein has worked as a Graphical Designer/Internet Coder for
the past 12 years in the same company (Hatteland Display).




Motif/color style for our wedding

RED

The highlight color for our weeding! We both love this color and one of our
favorite color for a very romantic events in our life... Red means for us "LOVE",
the reason why we decided to get marry because we want to be together forever
and lock our hearts for eternity...

WHITE

Shows the purity of our hearts, white also mean for us as peace in our relationship,
and protection for bad luck or evil things.

BLACK

Means sophisticated, mysterious, assertive or even nostalgic. Black shows
up as one of the couples which having strong opinion about design, we think
that black might lend a clean, graphic look to our weeding or slow up in
evocative and victorianesque forms!

SILVER / GRAY

Shows us how much we spent for our weeding, or how we prepare our weeding!
Silver shows restrained wealth and glamour, sophistication, silver says
"I can afford it but not to flaunt it!"

We choose church weeding because Cherry May is active in church and she
believes also that it was sacred ceremony for submitting our heart promises
for eachother to God! For Stein, marrying in church means rock solid tradition
and we wouldn't have it any other way.
