until we say yes… hopefully!
Chapter one
Together with our families, we invite you to celebrate our wedding. We are ready to say our vows — and we would love nothing more than to have you there to share the day with us.
Join us for the ceremony, the dinner, and the dancing, and all the small moments in between. Bring your warmth and your good cheer — we cannot wait to celebrate alongside the people we love.
The date
The place
A medieval stone church on the Norwegian coast.
Nine-hundred-year-old fieldstone walls beneath a roof of glass — old stone, open sky, and sea-air at the door.
The day
Everyone is invited to the ceremony at the church — old friends, new friends, family near and far. The dinner afterwards at Victoria Hotel is a smaller gathering for our closest family.
Find your seat among the old stones. Music, soft light, the slow business of arriving.
Vows within the ancient stone walls of Sola Ruinkyrkje.
Greetings, congratulations, a few tears, a few photographs along the coast.
A long table in the heart of Stavanger. Welcome drinks and the slow business of settling in.
Speeches from those brave enough, and an evening that takes its time.
Last dances, last toasts — and out into the Stavanger night.
Relaxed grilling with maybe some crabs and shrimps to round it all off — and good company.
Garden formal. Bring a coat the wind can't argue with.
Yours are welcome — we love them too.
Your presence is the gift. If you insist, a contribution to the honeymoon is gratefully received.
The ceremony will be held in Norwegian and English, with Ukrainian where the heart calls for it.
