our story | celebrating in sweden.
although it’s been nearly 9 months that we got married in cambridge, mass., christian & i decided to host a party for friends and family in sweden last weekend. the celebration was also a farewell party for christian, as he will leave his home and country in late september to start a new chapter of life in boston. (with me, of course!)
the party was hosted in a small house in the center of lund, christian’s home town (also home to one of sweden’s largest universities).
typical to swedish events and holidays of any sort, the party involved singing, speeches and general merriment. (the reason for lack of pictures!)
it was an emotional night to reconnect with wonderful friends & family that i don’t see regularly and from whom christian will soon be separated by the atlantic. the celebration lasted until the sun came up, and i went to sleep reassured that distance doesn’t hinder family and love. but will only make those things stronger.
i miss you already, sverige, but will surely return.
