A three-day wedding in Åre, no holding back and going all out – Tilda & Alex König’s wedding (Part 1)

We’re kicking off a new season of our podcast episodes for 2026 – and we’re getting off to a flying start with Tilda König!

It all begins when Johannes stumbles across the couple’s (not entirely private) wedding website: “This is Åre.” From there, the cameras roll straight into an incredibly entertaining love story about Tinder, a DM that starts with “cosy Friday night or Friday night out?”, a boozy trip to Åre that almost happened – and how Tilda and Alexander still end up on their first proper date, a full-blown snowstorm, snogging against a house wall and that feeling of: “this is the man of my life.”

Tilda also talks about their trademark: condensing life. They manage to go on a road trip to Italy, buy a house “before they were even together”, renovate it, sell it – and later make decisions at the same breakneck pace regarding the proposal and the wedding. We get to follow the proposal by Lake Como (including the hunt for the ring in their bags…) and Tilda’s brutally honest take on wedding planning: why she doesn’t understand the need for two years’ planning, how you can save money by doing lots yourself (hello Canva!), and why she initially thought: “let’s skip the photographer – I’ll take the photos myself” … before reality (and everyone around her) caught up with her.

This episode is packed with laughter, moments of recognition, high energy and loads of practical ideas for anyone planning a wedding – especially if you like the idea of a wedding that feels more like ‘you’ than ‘just like everyone else’s’. And yes: we also get round to explaining why Åre became the obvious choice – with the church, après-ski and Åregården at the heart of it all.
