Anders and I finally got to see Lian today, and it was very nice. But we have to eliminate some of the places, and decided that it is too difficult to arrange an outdoor wedding there. After intense debating with Anders’ mom, we’ve also decided that there will be two parties. We just can’t seem to get everything we want at once. We want a very nice place to have the wedding itself, preferably outside, but with the possibility to have it inside if it’s raining. Then we want the dinner to be very classy and nice, and we want to have an open bar. If we’re going to have the party with all our friends with an open bar in a classy, all included place, it’s going to be very (too) expensive. So we want to have the party at a place where we can bring the alcohol. So we have decided that we will have the dinner and the party for our family at a classy, all included place. They’re on average about 40 years, so they won’t drink to much anyway. And then we’ll have the party for our friends at a less formal place a few days/a week later. Some will have to come at both the parties though, like our siblings, cousins ++. But I’m sure they won’t mind. This decision made the planning much easier. We could also eliminate Festningen (too bad though) because we can’t have the party there. And we like Ringve and Sverresborg better than Louiselyst. So we’re down to two alternatives. I like the interior of Ringve a little bit better than Sverresborg, which is a bit too modern, but I’m very worried that my allergies will be too bad there. And Sverresborg is a bit more interesting in a way. I’m glad we’re down to two though.

In other news, we went out last night. Nobody wanted to party with us, so we just partied by ourselves. Which always is surprisingly fun. Allthough Anders’ hasn’t been in a very good mood today.

I’m home all alone for the weekend, and it feels good. I can sit up all night playing computer games without Anders nagging about it, and I don’t have to tidy up the apartment until tomorrow.

Anders is in Sweden, he and three of his friends in on.wheelz.biz have been biking Vatternrundan today, 300 km. Very proud of him.

I hate football. Nothing to watch on TV now.

We did get permission from Anders’ grandparents to have the wedding at Festningen. But we can’t have the party there unless we want to be outside. So we still don’t know. We went to see Ringve yesterday, and it was beautiful there too. The problem with being there is that I and other members of the family might have an allergy shock. Hmmm. We still have to see Louiselyst and the inside of Lian before we can decide though. I’m so stressed out.

60 years after his death, he still manages to ruin my wedding. OK, that might be a bit overdramatic, but here’s the story.

Anders, his mother and I have been looking at places to get married today. The last place we looked at was Kristiansten Festning. And I absolutely fell in love with the place. We can get married outside, with beautiful surroundings and a great view of the city, we can have drinks in the tower, and there’s also a great place to have the dinner. The big problem is that the entrance to the place where we can eat is about 2 meters from the place where norweigan prisoners got shot under the war. I don’t mind much, but our 5 grandparents might mind a bit. Or a lot.
So should we go with one of the other places, that probably also is going to work out great, or should we go with the place we love? We have decided that we should ask them what they think, and I have a bad feeling in my gut. It’s just so typical. I keep thinking about just eloping to the Seychelles or Mauritius or something, and stop doing all this planning. I’m kinda getting tired of it already, and it’s still more than a year until the wedding.
