When an American tour group took a tour around the Old Merchants House with John recently they were given a nice surprise! The tour leader (with the well-known US tour operator Rick Steves) discovered that two couples in the group had wedding anniversaries during their visit to Ærø. So he let John know - and he was able to surprise Dan & Shauna (38th anniversary) and Wendy & Dennis 46th) with bouquets made by Luise and a reading from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Happy Anniversaries!

Read MoreTuesday nights at Landbogaarden for eloping wedding couples were amazing! It all started when Louise chatted with her cousin Jakob and his wife Gertrude about setting up something special for dinner for our (and our partner Getting Married in Denmark’s) Tuesday couples in November. Jakob and Gertrude run Landbogaarden, and Tuesday Wedding Dinners was the solution - one big table, great food, lots of happy couples, and Landbogaarden’s cool and unique atmosphere. Now other restaurants are open again so for this year the Winter Wedding Dinners have stopped - but next year maybe...?

Read MoreLea and Kevin knew exactly what they wanted: a casual family wedding in gorgeous surroundings with an unbureaucratic document process. Our little family run business had just featured in a German TV program on NDR , which Lea and Kevin had seen, and shown their guests before the wedding, so the guests felt like they knew us before they even stepped foot off the ferry, and it felt like we were organizing a wedding for old friends.
