Rosanna & Christoffer from the SVT programme *Married at First Sight*.

We recognise Rosanna Segerstedt and Christoffer Sundén from the SVT programme *Married at First Sight*.

They were paired up by the programme’s experts and turned out to be a perfect match. Their relationship blossomed during the programme, and they are still married today. In October, the couple remarried, this time with their loved ones in attendance.

What’s your fondest memory of the day?

– It’s really hard to choose just one, but perhaps the most vivid memory is the loving atmosphere. It was also fun

to surprise the guests several times throughout the day and evening. First with a singer, Elin Wigh, who sang

an original song dedicated to us in the church. Then a gospel choir, in true *Love Actually* style, surprised the guests

by sitting amongst the audience and, one by one, starting to sing our closing song, ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’. The atmosphere became really lively when they then went up to the front of the church and belted out the whole song.

Did you organise any activities for the guests?

– Our Malmö-born toastmaster led a guided tour on the bus between the church and Turning Torso, which is what

most guests have talked about afterwards! We obviously missed out on something there, as we stayed behind taking photos! We had

a photo booth and a guest book at Kallbadhuset, as well as cigars on Kallbadhuset’s veranda. There was also a saxophonist on the dance floor,

which was a very popular touch!

What was on the wedding menu?

Starter: Three types of canapés

Main course: Oven-baked cod fillet on a bed of tangy fennel, smoky beurre blanc served with potato fondant

and rainbow trout roe

Dessert: Cinnamon panna cotta with caramelised apple

The Advice

Top tip for a wedding?

Remind yourselves that it’s your day, and the idea is for it to be a joyful celebration of love.

Top tips for the planning stage?

Agree on your shared core values for the wedding to keep you on the same page, and divide up the tasks with clear deadlines.

Top tip for the day itself?

Enjoy yourselves and try to live in the moment. Plan in advance who’ll be responsible for different parts of the day – for example, friends, family or a coordinator – so that the bride and groom don’t have any practical responsibilities.

Is there anything you wish you’d done differently?

Perhaps our nerves would have settled and we could have enjoyed the ceremony more if we’d rehearsed more thoroughly with everyone involved beforehand.

Do: Divide up responsibilities before and on the day so that everything runs smoothly and the bride and groom are spared any practical responsibilities.

Do: Plan the wedding in stages by booking planning sessions, so you don’t get overwhelmed.

Do: Coordinate with the best man and maid of honour early on and hold regular meetings right up to the wedding day.

Don’t: Don’t let other people’s opinions dictate things – it’s your day, so stay focused on what you want!

Top tip for newlyweds after the wedding?

Take some time off and enjoy an extra day after the wedding, especially if you’re not going on your honeymoon straight away. Even a short getaway, such as to a spa, can be lovely.
