We were married exactly 18 months ago, with friends and family from all across the world gathered to help us celebrate at Fríkirkja by the "pond" in downtown Reykjavík. The historic church that would be the venue for our sacred vows had also over the years been the host for many incredible bands, including Daughter, and 16 years earlier, one of the first Sigur Rós shows. Our wedding was simple but a beautiful day with the people we loved and later we would eat, drink and dance late into the night to the live sounds of Június Meyvant.
Like most people planning a wedding, the weeks leading up to the big day were very stressful, lots of last minute changes and errands and panics were all part of the journey. What many people didn't know is that we were virtually broke and a week before the wedding still had nowhere to spend the wedding night. However, thanks to some last minute help from some generous family and friends we were able to find a location, located in Mosfellsbær just outside of Reykjavík.
It was a little apartment in a big greenhouse, and probably the best kept secret in Iceland. It made a perfect and memorable location for us to spend a few days relaxing after the wedding, especially as we were not taking a honeymoon immediately.
In every corner, nook, and cranny, there was amazing attention to quirky detail without ever feeling contrived or over the top. I don't have much to write as I think the only way really to communicate this beautiful place and the memories is in pictures:
