Register our marriage

2009. Sep. 9th B and I tided the knot in Stockholm before we moved to Taiwan.

Talking about registration, sounded very complicated but it was really out of my imagination here! No need to wait in line, no city hall. The ceremony was hold at one of our favorite restaurant in town--" Leijontornet" means the lion's tower. It is a cozy and historical spot in old town.

The process was shockingly simple, a city judge came to the restaurant, read some announcement, made us signed the papers and we were hitched! Then we all moved to the private room call " Dragon room" had a feast --the perfect ending for a registration!

That was a one star Michelin dinner fellowed with a lot of great wine!
We were in a romantic room with very dimmed lights---not so easy to take pictures, but who cares? We were having the greatest time ever! B and I were legally married!! The very first and hopefully the last time in my life!

The modern twist of traditional Swedish food: moose jerky! My mother in law prepared the nice rose bouquet for me, very kind and sweet! Thank you B-mother~

The other modern twist of Swedish food, dark bread with liver mousse , fried onion.etc...too drunk to remember at this point!

Scallop lollipop! Impressive

Look how happy he was with his vanilla ice cream and cloudberry reduction!

Amazing tender deer with chantarelle mushroom with some kind of consomme jelly

Happy and drunk group,We are Family!

The sweet night ended with a surprise! B book a honeymoon suite in Grand hotel,very nice work 

The BBQ party at Qvallsta

About the BBQ party on July 4th, Here is the rough [very rough] map of Qvallsta I drew.

Hope you can get the basic image of the place.



When you get in the entrance you will se some space for parking if we need.
A cute center lawn maybe need some light bulbs on it.



You can get to the lake by enter the main house or just pass through the side of the main building.
I think the main building might be under remodeling but we still can use the bathroom in the side buildings.









Our idea is having the BBQ grill in front of the Patio on the lawn with a big table on which the food will be placed. The music center can be on the patio as well?

Some small chairs and picnic blanket on the lawn and by the water and on the deck.

Small lights everywhere during the evening time.

Hope you can get a rough idea of what it will be like.

My ideal wedding cake

Since first time I visited Stockholm and Adam showed me this bakery called Tosse, I knew I want to have their Princess cake + Chocolate opera cake as my wedding cake AKA the most important cake in my life time!! Haha.

The idea is to put 1 big chocolate opera as base and one mid size princess cake on top of it , and put a small opera and topping with an mini princess. I will draw the cake out soon, but I have to get the cake book of Martha Steward first.......

The original cakes look like these [ They are sooooooooo YUMMY!!]






I can not find the princess cake pictures I took last summer....
But I found this picture on line, and I want my wedding princess cake have lots of berries in side!!
