We are all longing for time with others after all this social distancing. As you all understand, we are hoping that vaccination goes according to plan and that restrictions are no longer needed to the same extent. That traveling is possible. We will get back to the topic later on.
Our wedding ceremony takes place in S:t Ibbs Church at 2:30 pm

"St Ibb’s Church is consecrated to James, or Ibb in Danish, the patron saint of pilgrims. The pilgrim is also constantly in motion, constantly on the move. But the pilgrim realizes the importance of stopping for a while each day, to step aside. To find the strength to go on.
In the middle of this stream of life from east to west, from north to south the church on top of the island points in another direction, towards heaven. She reminds us that life also has a vertical dimension, easier to reach if you stop for a while, step out of the middle of the whirlwinds of life and find rest like an island in the sea."
