The greyness of November was all forgotten yesterday evening when I was lucky enough to attend my good friend Tanja's wedding. I met Tanja just under two years ago and we have been friends ever since. She and her fiance Osku did not want to have a traditional wedding, but wanted to take everyone by surprise. So they invited their friends and family to a joint "birthday party." It was only after everyone had arrived (and wondered where the birthday boy and girl were), that the music changed to a wedding theme, the doors opened and Tanja appeared in her wedding dress with her father at her side.
One of the most touching moments was the personal promises the couple gave each other just before they exchanged rings. You could almost hear the tears drop in the background.
The colour theme for the event was black, white and red. Guests had been asked to wear black and white (which everyone did) and this served as a brilliant backdrop for the wedding party who all wore something red. Tanja herself had a sparkly red wedding dress on which suited her personality exactly.
The atmosphere during the evening was happy, relaxed and completely unique, which is exactly how I would describe Tanja and Osku themselves.
I know that I speak for everyone who was there as I wish both Tanja and Osku a very long and happy life together. Lots of love to you both from all of us!
