About the lovely bride;<\/h5>

Written by Caroline Fjelde Sannerud<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div>

Kerstin is empathetic, generous, and always the one who makes everyone feel welcome. A cool and inspiring woman who impresses both at work and beyond \u2013 she writes songs, leads choirs, runs workshops, and takes on new challenges with passion.<\/p>

Now she\u2019s getting married and becoming an Ultanur \u2013 and all we can say is: she\u2019s absolutely amazing!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Written by Levents maid of honor, Asli Aydemir<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div>

Levent is one of a kind: he loves people, music, and everything spontaneous. He often loses track and forgets the big things, but remembers details no one else notices.<\/p>

He is generous, full of energy, and always genuine \u2013 a grown man who still shines with the joy of a child, with an enthusiasm that inspires everyone around him.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Location:<\/span> Rundhuset, Moss.
Directions further down.<\/p>

16:00<\/span>
You\u2019ll meet up at Rundhuset in Nesparken, Moss.
\nHere you\u2019ll be greeted by the one and only toastmaster-general, Richard Bjerk\u00f8e (watch out \u2013 he holds a lot of power tonight!) and our families.\n
There will be a welcome drink, mingling, and some light conversation.<\/p>

17:00 - 17-15<\/span><\/p>

We\u2019ll arrive \u2013 elegantly, and most likely a little late after the photo session. Maybe even a little tipsy after calming our nerves with a few...<\/p>

17:15<\/span>
The Ceremony \ud83e\udd42<\/p>

17:30 \u2013 18:00<\/span><\/p>

Mingling, photos with you all, and a little more grown-up bubblys.<\/p>

18:00<\/span>
We\u2019ll head into the party hall for dinner and plenty of fun.<\/p>

Richard leads us through the event. He says jump we jump, he says eat we hold hands say grace \ud83d\ude07<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n \n Dress code<\/span>
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Casual and relaxed. As long as you feel comfortable and fresh, we\u2019re happy. Think Swedish midsummer party \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffb\ud83c\udf7a<\/p>

Feel free to also bring a pair of shoes suitable for mingling and dancing on the lawn \u2013 and of course, on the dance floor.<\/p>

The bride and groom will be packing dancing shoes.<\/span> \ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffd\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffb<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

We\u2019ve decided to roll up our sleeves and cook proper Turkish food for you!<\/p>

There will be Turkish meatballs, chicken skewers, and 5\u20136 types of meze (Turkish tapas), along with focaccia and lavash (Turkish flatbread).<\/p>

For our veggie friends, we\u2019ll make M\u00fccver (mainly grated zucchini, eggs, etc.).<\/p>

All the meze dishes are vegetarian, so you\u2019re in for a real feast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>

Please let us know if you prefer vegan or vegetarian by September 1st so we can plan accordingly.<\/span><\/p>

And if you have any food allergies, it\u2019s super important that you tell us in advance.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Sorry \u2013 there won\u2019t be an endless champagne fountain this time.<\/p>

Last time things got a little out of hand. People were on the rooftops, \u201cdancing\u201d capoeira and trying out Kazakh moves. After that, things kind of went downhill \u2026<\/p>

So this time, we\u2019ll try to keep it a bit more \u201crespectable\u201d \u2013 at least within the bounds of reason. After all, it\u2019s still a party! \ud83e\udd73<\/p>

We\u2019re counting on about 3 drinks per person.\nThere will be some sparkling and alternatives for the welcome and mingling, 2 glasses of red or white wine with dinner, and of course some beer.<\/p>

For those who prefer alcohol-free options, we\u2019ll have Coke Zero, apple juice, and a non-alcoholic IPA that\u2019s actually drinkable.<\/p>

A couple of bottles of whisky, cognac, and Baileys will be ready for coffee and cake.<\/p>

And if you feel like consuming way more than that quota \u2013 feel free to bring your own (legal) brew \ud83d\ude05<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
