Heading South


The wedding is only three weeks away. Bjørn Åge and I are leaving in just 5 hours to start our journey to Florida. We have enjoyed our winter wonderland of beautiful snow covered Norway and are looking forward to some warmer temperatures.

Planning a wedding from across the ocean has been a little bit of a challange and we couldnt have done it without the help of my mom. Thanks mom! So, this next week is filled with meetings of giving our ok on colors, flowers, food, reception site, dresses, favors, music, photographer, dress fitting, hair styles and much more. This has been an enjoyable process and we have loved being engaged.

It wasnt until yesterday or today that it really hit us that we are some weeks away and going to be flying to Florida. Looking at our guest list this week we are getting more and more excited to see you all. It means a lot that you all have decided to join us on our special day and we cant wait to see everyone in warm sunny Florida. Many safe travels and blessings in these next few weeks! See you soon:)

Reason for Being

Hello Friends and Family!

There is no time like getting married to start a blog spot. Bjørn Åge and I thought it would be a helpful place to post  some useful information about our upcoming wedding. This is simply the reason for the blog stop. Hope you will enjoy it and we look forward to the months ahead and seeing you all soon. 

Blessings, 

Erin and Bjørn Åge

Gifts

Hello friends!
Bjørn Åge and I have put some thought into how to deal with gifts for our wedding. Since we are getting married in the States and going to live in Norway it is a bit hard to bring many things over here. We came up with a compromise to have an online wedding registry with some packable gifts for those who would rather give a tangible gift and then list some suggestions of items that we are planning on buying. If you would like to give money for some of those items, we would be very thankful (add a small note if you would like to help with a particular item ie. dinning room table, silverware. . ) Hopefully something will work for each of you. We are registered at Target.com and search Erin and Bjorn (there will be two registrations, pick the second one).

Some items that we would like to invest in are:
Bed costing 10,000 nok or $1,500
Couch and chairs costing 7,000 nok or $975
Dinning room table costing 5,000 nok or $750
Assorted kitchen items including: 2,500 nok or $350
silverware
dishes
baking dishes
mixing bowls
glasses
pots and pans
tupperware
