Follow the sun
Together with their families
Ebba Sundin&Linus Holm
invite you to their wedding on Midsummer Day
Välkomna!
How it began
Five summers ago, at the midsummer dance in Leksand, a stranger took Ebba’s hand for the little frogs. Linus still can’t do the hops. She is marrying him anyway.
The longest day
On Siljan in late June the sun only slips behind the hills for a few hours, and the sky never goes dark. This is how we’ll spend it.
- 3:00 pm
Vows in the birch meadow
On the grass by the water. Find a seat on the hay bales.
- 4:00 pm
Raising the pole
Everyone takes a rope. It goes up on the third heave.
- 4:30 pm
The little frogs
Rings of dancers round the pole. No one is too old, and no one is excused.
6:30 pmThe long table
Dinner in the old hay barn: herring, new potatoes and the first strawberries.
- 10:30 pm
Church boats on Siljan
The sun touches the hills and stays there. We row out into the light.
1:00 amSeven flowers
On the walk back, pick seven kinds and sleep with them under your pillow. Dreams are promised.
- 3:30 am
The sun comes back
For anyone still dancing.
Finding Tällberg
By train
Direct trains run from Stockholm Central to Tällberg in under four hours. We’ll meet every train on Saturday morning.
Staying
We’ve held rooms at Åkerblads and at the Dalecarlia up the hill. Mention our names when you book, before 1 May.
Getting about
A little bus runs between the inns and the meadow all day and all night. Nobody needs a car.
What to wear
Summer white and meadow colours, light and modest.
Flower crowns wait at the gate
Wool for the boats at midnight- Flat shoes. The meadow is soft and the jetty is wooden.
- An eye mask, if you mean to sleep at all. It will not get dark.
Take an oar
Everyone rows at midsummer. Tell us by 1 May 2027 and we’ll paint your name on a blade.
Glad midsommar!
The sun won’t set on us. See you in the light.
Ebba & Linus
