The Champagne Reception

After the wedding there was a lot of champagne, strawberries with cream, kissing and hugging and photographs. And croquet which was immediately appropriated by the children.

The first photo is with our two families - from left to right: Ivana, my sister Gabi, my mother Erzsebet, my father Sandor, Andreas's brother in law Thorleif, Andreas's sister Victoria, Andreas and me, his nieces Bettina, Camilla and nephew Didrik, his mother Titti, sister Mette, father Andreas and sister Kaia. We are missing Gabi's husband Øystein.

Then just with the parents:

And one just with the "girls": Andreas's sister Kaia, my sister Gabriela, me, Ivana, and Andreas's sister Mette.

On this photo we are with Andreas's aunt Mette and her sons Jørgen, Henrik and Johan (Otto is missing), Henrik's partner Kari and Johan's wife Cecilie.

On the next one we are with my Yugoslavian childhood friends: Sanja, Maja and Pera, and their partners Paul, Boris and Maren.

Here we are with our Norwegian friends from the University of Oslo: Nenad, Anila, Ronny, Christin, Vemund, Sigbjørn, Aina, Irene, Blagovestka, and Ole Bjørn with his daughter Maren. We are missing Kjell Fredrik, Barbro, Hilde, Kari and Randi (probably due to champagne); they appear on the later photos.

This photo is an international mixture: in the middle of the group are Frederik, one of Andreas's best childhood friends, and his fiancee Trine Lise, both from Norway. The others are our closest friends from Oxford, from Wolfson College: Sally and her husband Daryl from England, Nenagh from Australia, her boyfriend Stephen for England, then after Frederik there is Anne from USA and finally Dave from New Zealand. The girls next to Didrik are Helene and Elise, also from Wolfson College, and from Denmark.

Here we are with our friends from the University of Oxford: my office mates Sadie and Ben and Sadie's partner Stuart, Andreas's and my supervisor Mike and his wife Petronella, my best Comlab friend Paul and his partner Elissa.

Here is Øystein, Gabi's husband, me, Nenad - my best friend from Norway, and Gabi, my lovely "baby" sister.

With my beloved family: mother Erzsi, father Sandor and sister Gabi.

With the two mothers Erzsi and Titti and the priest Gavin.

Some more friends: Anna and Leonid Mikhailov, then Rutger Dijkstra, then Anila, Irene and Blaga.

       

Then Kari, and Johan with Cecilie:
