Jane and Thomas' Wedding

Our vows

I give you this ring, as a token of our marriage

and a symbol of our love,

I promise to love honour and care for you;

To support you through good fortune and adversity,

Joy and sadness,

And to be your friend, as long as we both shall live.

 

 

love is more thicker than forget

by e.e. cummings

 

Read by Rachel Ogilvy

 

 

love is more thicker than forget

more thinner than recall

more seldom than a wave is wet

more frequent than to fail

 

it is most mad and moonly

and less it shall unbe

than all the sea which only

is deeper than the sea

 

love is less always than to win

less never than alive

less bigger than the least begin

less littler than forgive

 

it is most sane and sunly

and more it cannot die

than all the sky which only

is higher than the sky

Some Danish Wedding Traditions

The First Dance:

During the first dance at a Danish wedding, all the guests around the couple in a wide ring, clapping faster and faster and inching up on the bride and groom until at last they have no room to dance and must kiss. In the middle of this kiss, the groom is wrenched away from his bride and held up in the air while someone comes along and cuts off the toes of his socks.

 

There is some dispute about the origins of this tradition. Some say it has to do with checking to be sure the groom hasn't been sneaking around at night. Others say it's intended to force the bride to prove her sewing skills.

 

Clinking plates:

In Denmark, if you clink your plate with your fork, the bride and groom will kiss (after climbing on top of their chairs!). Similarly, if you stomp your feet on the ground, the bride and groom have to disappear under the table to exchange a little smooch.
