Hi Girls,

HELP! We have already booked a wedding in the UK but after many dicussions have decided it really isn't for us and have ste our hearts on getting married in Lapland...we just don't know where to start - have contacted a couple of companies for quotes but it isn't moving fast enough! Does anyone have any idea where to start? We know when we want to go and have ideas re numbers and budget but other than that keep hitting brick walls.

If anyone has any info, experiences, advice etc I'd be so grateful for it as at the moment it feels like we'll end up getting hitched at the local dry ski slope instead!!

Thanks in advance

Sadie

Hello The bridal procession of the Lapp wedding is an old tradition - especially in Karasjok in Norwegian Lapland. The participants of the procession consist most often of unmarried boys and girls (couples) and the bride and groom themselves. The bride and groom are the fourth couple of the procession.

The first three couples of the procession are chosen by the bride and groom. All the couples go hand in hand. The procession often starts from the home of the bride or the groom. Often the procession ends at the church. After the ceremony in the church, the new procession ends at the place of the wedding reception.
