      My favorite detail was the fact that you could always see the love in his eyes from the moment the cameras started rolling.
      There was never a moment where love left him.
      You can really tell how much he loves her and will treasure her.💚

The culture is quite different from mainland Finland. In general, about 5.3% of Finns speak Swedish instead of Finnish as their mother tongue. Swedish is also our second official language alongside Finnish.

      The island Kyrkogårdsö (where they are getting married) is not owned by his family (it's basically only his family who lives there tho, about 10 people actually.) it actually belongs to a bigger island called Kökar. The Åland Islands is an autonomous part of Finland with many islands and skerries (there's over 6700) and many of them are actually privately owned, for example my boyfriends family does own have a small island, no where near as big as Kyrkogårdsö tho :)
