7th May, 2023

In the heart of Norway, where the serene waters of Mjøsa meld into the peaceful surroundings, fate orchestrated our first encounter in the most magical way. It was the 7th of May, 2023, a sun-kissed day when our paths crossed for the first time on the shores of Mjøsa in Lillehammer. An ice cream shared, a walk along the water’s edge, and conversations that quickly dove deep into life’s mysteries—it was clear from the start that we had found something special. The connection was effortless, peaceful, and wonderfully serene.

There was no need for a specific date to mark the beginning of our journey together—it simply was. As summer turned to autumn, it became clear that what we had found was rare and irreplaceable.

Anders has always made Flora feel like a princess, fulfilling dreams she never even dared to dream. Our shared values deepened our bond, reminding us daily of the extraordinary love we were fortunate to find. Loyalty, honesty, respect, and an abundance of love have strengthened our relationship every step of the way. When we’re together, time seems to pause, and both our hearts and minds are perfectly aligned in certainty and love.

Since that unforgettable day by Mjøsa, we’ve envisioned a future filled with shared dreams, family, and a lifetime of togetherness. On the 8th of June, 2024, Anders proposed to Flora at the breathtaking Romsdalseggen, surrounded by spectacular mountains and fjords. The celebration that followed at Eggen restaurant atop the mountain was a moment of pure magic and unforgettable joy.

Our journey may seem like it unfolded in the blink of an eye, but from the very beginning, we knew we were destined to be together.

A year later, on the 21st of June, 2025, we will promise each other an eternal yes in the picturesque and world-renowned Geiranger, surrounded by even more beautiful mountains and fjords. Nature and stunning landscapes are close to both our hearts, making this the perfect setting for our special day. We will be joined by our beloved family and closest friends to celebrate the love that binds us.

Our story is a testament to the beauty of serendipity, the power of true love, and the joy of finding one’s soulmate. We eagerly await to share this special day with the people who mean the most to us.

Geiranger Church, a beautiful whitewashed wooden church from 1842, is surrounded by breathtaking nature, with views of majestic mountains and the famous Geirangerfjord. This intimate and atmospheric church provides a unique setting for our wedding, and we look forward to sharing this special moment with you.

It makes the day even more special for us that Pastor Knut Gjengedal, a man with a big heart and genuine devotion, will be officiating our ceremony. The bride had a strong desire to have
him, as she holds him in high regard and admires his warm presence. We are deeply grateful that he agreed to be a part of this important moment, and we know he will bring his own unique touch to the ceremony, making it truly unforgettable for everyone present.

How do you get to Geiranger?

Getting to Geiranger

Welcome to Geiranger! For our guests coming from abroad or different parts of Norway, here is a helpful guide to make your journey to this beautiful fjord village as smooth as possible.

By Car

We highly recommend renting a car or driving if possible, as it is the easiest way to reach Geiranger and explore the stunning surroundings at your own pace.

  • From Oslo (Eastern Norway):

    Driving from Oslo to Geiranger is a popular choice for those who wish to experience Norway’s breathtaking landscapes along the way. The distance is approximately 267 miles (429 km), and the drive takes around 6.5 to 7 hours. However, plan for extra time to enjoy the scenic stops, national parks, and cultural sites.

    • Suggested Route: Take the E4 to E6 north, then follow Rv15 in Otta before turning onto Fv63 towards Geiranger. This route takes you through Lillehammer (home of the 1994 Winter Olympics and the Olympic Museum) and Lom, where you can explore hiking trails like the Besseggen Ridge and see glaciers in Jotunheimen National Park.
  • From Ålesund Airport (Vigra):

    The nearest airport to Geiranger is Ålesund Airport, Vigra. From Ålesund, it’s a 2.5 to 3-hour drive to Geiranger. Renting a car or hiring a private driver allows you to enjoy the scenic drive, including the famous Trollstigen mountain road with its hairpin turns.

    • Hellesylt Ferry Option: You can also take a ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger(about 1 hour). This ferry offers a stunning way to experience the fjord by water and see landmarks such as the Seven Sisters and Bridal Veil waterfalls

Car Rental

We recommend renting from avis.no since it´s very affordable and flexible (unlimited kilometers), usually around 60€ per day.

 

By Plane

For those with limited time, flying from Oslo to Ålesund is a convenient option:

  • Duration: 3.5 to 4 hours (including flight and drive)Fly directly from Oslo to Ålesund, then rent a car or arrange a private transfer for the remaining three-hour drive to Geiranger. You can also opt for the Hellesylt to Geiranger ferry for a scenic fjord journey.

We are here to help! If you need assistance finding the best way to get to Geiranger or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Anders or Flora. We are more than happy to assist in planning your journey to this beautiful village in Western Norway.

Gifts? Not really, but.. 

(English below) 

Vi har fått mange spørsmål om ønskeliste til bryllaupet vårt. For oss er den største gåva at våre kjære tek del i feiringa av den store dagen saman med oss.

Dersom du likevel ønskjer å gi ei gåve, har det vore litt utfordrande for oss å lage ei tradisjonell ønskeliste. I år har vi pussa opp huset vi skal bu i og allereie skaffa det meste vi treng til kjøkenet. Difor har vi sett opp ei lita liste over ting vi veit vi vil ha glede av i tida framover:


• Bidrag til bryllaupsreisa


• Gåvekort hos fotografen vår, Fotograf Ma, som vil bli brukt til å forevige og dokumentere den store dagen


• Bidrag til vidare oppussing av huset (utvendig oppussing)

Vi set stor pris på alle som ønskjer å vere med og feire denne dagen saman med oss!


 

We have received many questions about our wedding gift registry. For us, the greatest gift is having our loved ones join us in celebrating our special day.

 

If you still wish to give a gift, it has been a bit challenging for us to create a traditional gift list. This year, we have renovated the house we will be living in and have already acquired most of what we need for the kitchen. Therefore, we have put together a small list of things we know we will appreciate in the time ahead:

 • Contributions to our honeymoon

 • A gift card for our photographer, Fotograf Ma, which will be used to capture and document our special day

 • Contributions to further renovations of our house (exterior improvements)

Bank: Sparebank1

We truly appreciate everyone who wants to celebrate this day with us!
