Engelska bruda?

Very excited that I've just spotted this post! I'm English and so is my future husband and we're both living in Gothenburg. We've been here 2 and a half years and are getting married her next June. It seemed easier to have the wedding in Sweden due to planning, the lower cost and the fact that Sweden feels more like home!

Hello to all you other English brides!

Welcome! Sorry for being nosy but what was your reason for coming to Sweden (apart from it beeing such a wonderful place, yes, I'm a bit homesick)?

My boyfriend spent 1 years working here after university while I was still in England. He then moved back to London but we got fed up with the price of living in London, so when he was offered his old job back in Sweden I came too! We really love it here and are so excited about family and friends from England coming over for the wedding - can't wait to show off Sweden to them!

was there some particular reason you asked me about the thread? us both being foreigners perhaps in our mens countries?!

morning everyone!

terri - Yes I think so although I afterwards thought that it should have been to everyone. I've luckely got over my 'moving home to Sweden crisis' and hope it never comes back as it can tears your inside as well as your relationship a part.

**Future Mrs L** - Tried to convince my h2b to have a wedding in Swewden as well but he really wanted it in London so I said ok in the end (his parents are paying for it which helped).

i felt a bit homesick this autumn. itäs tough not hvaing my good old freinds around to help me with the wedding planning. i have freinds here in stockholm but htey are of course not so close and not so interested either! but like u, i think i am over it now... we'll see i guess!

nice that yoru m2bs family pays for the wedding! super!

terri - I get a bit homesick from time to time but nothing remotely close to how I felt a few years ago when seriously considering going back (before I met h2b). I sometimes remind myself that I would probably not be going 'home' more often than now had I lived somewhere in the north of Sweden (e.g. Umea). Have many of your UK friends been to visit?
