INTRODUCTION
With great joy we welcome you to one of the most meaningful days of our lives. Through the grace and love that Jesus has shown us, and the hope we have in him, we now stand before each other and before God. In gratitude for what Jesus has done, and continues to do, we choose today to say yes to one another and enter into marriage, grounded in love, faith, and the promise of a life together.

Ceremony
IN SHORT
The ceremony is the moment when our marriage begins, and where our journey together reaches its fulfillment through God’s grace. We both agree that this is what matters most, everything else during the day is a loving frame around this very moment. It is here we stand before you, and before our heavenly Father, with you and God as our witnesses, to give our lives to one another. This is the most important moment of our day.

We kindly ask all guests to park in the parking lot next to the church. From there, cross the street and follow the small gravel path toward the red tower.
-
The old fire station is an older, carefully renovated building and the restrooms therefore have limited capacity. To avoid people going in and out, we kindly ask all guests to use the restrooms across the street at the church. They are located in a small outbuilding right by the entrance to the cemetery. Thank you for planning your restroom visits as much as possible.
-
The ceremony will be held on soft grass, so we kindly ask our female guests to consider their choice of shoes accordingly. Thick heels are recommended.
THE CEREMONY RULEBOOK
To make the ceremony a calm, beautiful, and present moment, we kindly ask you to show consideration during the ceremony. Please set mobile phones to airplane mode during the ceremony, and if you wish to take photos, do so discreetly and with care. We also ask you to be in place no later than 20 minutes before the scheduled time, so the ceremony can begin in peace and calm. Thank you for helping us create a beautiful and respectful moment together.
DINNER
IN SHORT
-
-
Svansjöhus, which is the location for the evening, is exactly a 30-minute drive from the fire station. We kindly ask all guests to arrange their own transportation.
-
We kindly ask all guests to park in the parking lot at Svaneholm Castle, then follow the small walking path to Svansjöhus for about 2–3 minutes.
-
The schedule for the evening will be announced in greater detail during the day, but what may already be good to know is that after the ceremony all guests will make their way to Svansjöhus for mingling. After our wedding photography, we will arrive to the sound of good music, and then mingle together for a short while longer. Then we move on to dinner, followed by a celebration with cigars, drinks, and other delights.
-
If you would like to give a speech during the dinner, we kindly ask you to contact our toastmadame, Nikki Bjurling, by email at nikki.bjurling@hotmail.com. We ask all speakers to keep their speeches to around 5 minutes per speech (maximum 7 minutes). Thank you for respecting our wishes.
The dinner is when we can truly begin celebrating what has just taken place. It will be held at a small, tucked-away picturesque estate called Svansjöhus, in Svaneholm a short distance from Skurup. It will consist of mingling, a three-course dinner, and celebration.
ACCOMMODATION & LODGING
TAXI, TRANSPORT & ACCOMMODATION.
For those of you who do not wish to drive home after the celebration, we recommend finding accommodation for the night around Skurup or Malmö (which is about 30–40 minutes from the venue). Feel free to look at airbnb.com, hotels.com, or check for a more affordable B&B in the surrounding area.
For those who need transportation from the venue afterwards, we recommend coordinating with other guests or booking a taxi through Skurup’s local taxi company. Phone numbers and other information will be available at the venue, but you can also find it here if you would like to pre-book – skurupstaxi.se.
We hope that despite some logistics, you can appreciate our wish and intention to hold this wedding in southern Skåne.
DRESSCODE
IN SHORT
The theme of the wedding is Timeless Elegance, and our intention is to bring together the rural character of Skåne with a continental classic look, therefore the dress code is black tie and long evening dress. We respectfully ask all of you to follow this with care, but also with joy. We will explain what it is, how it should be worn, and which budget-friendly alternatives are available for those who would like to know.
FOR THE GENTLEMEN
The dress code is therefore Black Tie / Tuxedo.
A tuxedo (also called smoking) is formal evening wear and differs from a regular suit.
What Black Tie means:
• Black tuxedo jacket (should be single-breasted, with satin lapels or glossy lapels)
• Black tuxedo trousers (matching the jacket)
• White tuxedo shirt (the collar is shortened with two triangle-folded flaps in the front)
• Black bow tie
• Black dress shoes (polished)
If you do not have the opportunity to buy or rent a tuxedo, the following is also acceptable:
• Black suit
• White shirt
• Black bow tie
• Black dress shoes
Please keep the overall look classic and minimalist.
FOR THE LADIES
The dress code is therefore Black Tie / Tuxedo.
Black Tie means formal evening wear and should match the men’s tuxedo in level and expression.
Preferred option
• Long evening gown (elegant, stylish and formal)
• Solid color (for example grey, green, lavender, light yellow)
• Elegant heels or dress shoes (preferably a wider heel due to the ceremony location)
To avoid
• White, ivory or cream
• Strong, loud or neon colors
• Short dresses
• Casual materials or cuts
Please keep the overall look classic and minimalist.
