The Proposal

Hi Friends and Family

So he "asked her to marry him" and she asked him to think it over to make sure he really meant it.
OK, I admit not really fairytale stuff, but I think I can be forgiven on the basis that for the nine years we have been together Simon has never mentioned that he wanted us to wed, also the questions was asked after a particular stressed period at Attentio, and it had been 30 degree or more for weeks, so I was afraid he was suffering from sun-stroke.
Of course I said "yes" - and that was the easy part.

Organising the wedding, has been a bit more complicated!

Setting the date was quite easy we knew it had to be late summer autum 2006 for this will coinside with us being together for 10 years.
Finding the venue, was somewhat more difficult. A normal Danish wedding is roughly 50-70 people and most irish wedding we have been to has been closer to 200 persons than 100. And as we are fortunate enough to have lots of friends and family whom we want to celebrate with finding a Danish venue was not that easy.
Add to that our wish for a place where our guest can stay the night if they want and that we wanted to be able to bring the drinks ourselves, the choise was limited. But luckily enough we found the perfect spot.

Sonnerupgaard, where the party will be held in the old barn, which is big enough for all our guests, there are rooms to stay the night (the are not big and pretty basic, but still I think that they are really niced). The only downside is that this is far both from the church and Copenhagen. Thus we have arranged for a bus to pick up the guest in Copenhage, drive to the church and further on to the venue, on Sunday the bus will return our guests to Copenhagen. This I feel is the optimal solution as nobody will have to rent cars and try to find their way through the Danish country side.

The church is in the parish where I grew up, and my parents are still living there.
It is a very old church (1200-1250) and on the "smalish" side so we will be rather cosy.
Normally a Danish wedding will take roughly 30-40 minutes.
