Dress code

Wear something that is appropriate for a wedding. Suits and dresses are both good options. We have no particular color pallate. Wear whatever makes you feel great.

Accommodation

Soria Moria Hotel have reserved a number of discounted rooms for the wedding party. Guests can book their rooms directly with the reception, either by email at resepsjon@soriamoria.no or by phone. Guests can reference the date of their stay and your the wedding party when making the reservation.

Presents

We have most of the things we need in life, so we won’t ask anyone to give us presents for our wedding. If you insist on giving on something, you can contribute to our honeymoon budget, so we can go somewhere warm.

The account number is 1228.16.57532. This is – once again – totally voluntary.

Guests traveling from far away, please don’t worry about gifts, we will not accept it. Your presence in Oslo and sharing this special day with us is already the greatest gift we could ask for.

Speaches

Our guests speak a mix of languages — some Norwegian, some English, and some Kazakh or Russian.

In general, very few Kazakhs above the age of 40 speak or understand English, and no Norwegians speak or understand Kazakh or Russian.

Roughly one-third of our guests will understand all four languages — if you’re one of them: kudos! 🎉

We kindly ask everyone planning a speech to submit it ahead of time to the toastmaster. We won’t be preparing subtitles, but our toastmaster will translate your speech and print out a paper translation for guests who don’t understand English, Norwegian, Kazakh, or Russian. Since this is a lot of manual work, and most of us understand English, we’d really appreciate it if your speech is given in English whenever possible.

To help us keep the speeches to a reasonable length, we kindly ask that each family or group of friends coordinate who will speak. We also ask that you keep your speech within three minutes. This helps us keep the program flowing and ensures everyone has time to celebrate together.

Please send your speech to our toastmaster, Andreas Jacobsen, at andreasjacobsen94@gmail.com

Getting home

• Linhusveien
• Lysaker Stasjon
• Tollboden (Jernbanetorget/Oslo S)
• Sars’ gate (Tøyen)
