Finnish wedding!



Time for a Finnish wedding, for a change. Jani and Katja are the lucky souls - and what particularly warms my heart is that he apparently proposed to Katja whilst in Provence (when they were visiting us here in Nice last new year). Jocke, who also visited us (on the 1st of May weekend), had the honour of being best man (and a good job he did as well!).



The wedding ceremony took place in Mataskär - which was kind of nice since I did my "rippikoulu" there (I don't know what it's called in English - kind of like a summer camp you do before your confirmation). The main stars of the evening arrived in style - in a Rolls Royce imported from the US of A.



After the ceremony we were transported to Villa Rulludd, where the celebrations continued with some great food, drinking songs, dancing and other merrymaking. The venue was very nice indeed - normally the villa acts as a museum.

We shared the table with some old school mates of mine, like Pate, Stadi and Riku. Nice to see them - must be about 10 years since the last time we met up!
