My August

August went by in two seconds. Lovely month with two trips to Sweden. One longer in the beginning and a shorter weekend one in the end. The first trip was really special because David's family came - his parents, sister, sister's partner and son. We also had amazing weather the whole week. Over 30 degrees every day which is unheard of for that long in summer time. But the best thing of all is that we were all gathered in Stockholm - my family and D's family - for our wedding. Me and D got married in the City Hall in Stockholm on August 2nd. That date is a decade after we first met in Dublin.

After the wedding we all went to Häringe slott which is an old manor house turned hotel. We had the wedding reception there with our families - we were ten people in total. We then stayed at the hotel for 2 nights enjoying the pool, sea, floating sauna, canoes and tennis courts around there. We had an amazing time together.

Proud

In London 2011 is the year of a big royal wedding, but in Sweden we had it last year when the crown princess married a man of the people. The royal wedding was great PR for the Swedish royalties and they had never been more popular in modern time. My mum was asked to engrave one of the wedding gifts from a famous Swedish design house. It was a big tin plate from Svenskt Tenn. The above picture was published in the biggest newspaper in Sweden. I'm very proud.

Last weekend I was in Turin, Italy, for a friends wedding and since my "Italian sister" Monica - my flatmate from Dublin - also was invited and is from there, I had the pleasure spend time with her and stay in her mother's place during my stay in Turin.
It was such a great weekend!!
