Doesn't everyone meet that way?
Date #1: Four days in Stockholm. Date #2: Two weeks in Brisbane.
Date #3: Three weeks in Soderhamn. Date #4: We moved in together.
From just after we met, we've had a fairly strong suspicion we'd end up here. We chose the ring a few years ago. We had romantic chats. We discussed our future life together. Where we wanted to live. How we wanted to live. Our plans... Then he officially proposed in the car on the way to Bunnings.
And I was driving at the time. Seriously.
3:30pm at St Gabriel's Anglican Church,
11-15 Bridgnorth Street, Carindale.
We'll be celebrating with beer & bubbles in the Church grounds after the Ceremony.

Amanda (my sister) and Stefan (Pat's best mate since pre-school) have happily agreed to stand by us and support us on our special day as our Matron of Honour and Best Man. Our priest is Fr. John Searle. Jonathan & Marcus are our Ushers. Make sure to say "Hej!" when you meet them.
And we're all sure to be outshone by our two darling flower girls, Emmy & Issy.
We're truly sorry we can't fit everyone in but for those who are joining us, we'll see you at 6:00pm.
Be prepared to laugh, love, eat, drink and enjoy yourselves as you celebrate with us! Let our amazing MC Edwina know if you'd like to be part of the 'festival of speeches'.
And bring your dancing shoes. Our wonderful friend Katrina is mixing up a set list to get you all on the dance floor.
We don't get to see some of you very often so we plan on making the most of it. Depending on numbers, we'll be planning a Recovery Brunch or Lunch. So please, no early flights home.
I'm checking out the Pineapple Hotel this week and will update if it looks like a goer.
There aren't many things we need or even want (except maybe a big set of crockery that matches!). So we've selected a few things to help us entertain more and spend time with those we love. And renovating. There will always be renovating.
Gift Registry is at http://thkfl.com/fionaandpatrik
Bunnings vouchers are always welcome.
We know how exciting this is. After all, you've probably been waiting quite a while for it. So we WANT you to take photos, videos. Lots of them. And we've decided NOT to be precious so you can post them whenever & wherever you like. Please just add #FionaandPatrik so we can all find them.
We're still aiming to LIVESTREAM the Ceremony. Link will go up in the
next couple of days.
Our wedding is more than just the two of us making a commitment before our friends and family. It's the combining of two families, two sets of friends, two countries and two cultures. We've tried to reflect that in how we are choosing to celebrate with you - surrounded by our friends, family and nature, with a laugh, a hug and an aquavit or two ;)
The decor we have chosen reflects both the tropical plants from where I grew up, as well as the vibrant greens of Patrik's Swedish homeland. We truly hope that our wedding gives you a glimpse into the beauty of these special places.
