A Norwegian Summer Wedding

One of the last things I did on my trip to Norway was attend a wedding. God must have a special place in his heart for the married couple. He blessed them with a fantastic summer day, squeezed into Norway’s coldest and rainiest summer for years.

The young couple was already civilly married and wanted the church’s blessing. The groom is my husband’s nephew and has a little son with his princess. The event was lovely for my husband to meet family members he had not seen for decades. It was nice being surrounded by over a hundred festive people. The ceremony was touching and got a notable boost in the nice summer weather.
