Visit Ålesund

With all the wedding planning (only 23 days to go - eeek!), I haven´t prioritized this blog. I am waiting for some pictures from my bachelorette party before I can share that with you, but I can reveal that I had a wonderful time!

I have updated our wedding blog some, and one of the things I have added are suggestions for activities to do in Ålesund. The nature is breathtaking (the picture is taken not too far from Ålesund somewhere), but there are other things you can do as well if you go to visit.

Time is flying, and I should get back to sewing on my dress. It feels like a never ending project...

Going to Ålesund for a long weekend was wonderful. I got to see a lot of friends and family. Some visits were planned, and others I bumped into on the streets. That's the fun thing about living in a smaller town I guess.

My main reason for going was wedding  planning, and after visiting both the church and our reception venue it all feels a lot more real! I enjoy planning, and now I got to see my home town and area with a wedding in mind for the first time. It gave me several new ideas, and I hope Mike will catch all my visions...

The picture is taken right outside Skodje church were we will get married in 7,5 months. Gorgeous, isn't it? The whole area is completely breathtaking, and every time I go back to visit I can't stop staring out the windows, whether in cars or at people's houses. I'm completely smitten, and miss it already!
