Welcome to our wedding website! Both of us can’t wait until the big day and couldn’t be more excited to see everyone after this long period of separation.
Welcome! Valkommen!
Photo Gallery!
Announcements
Thank you to everyone that shared in our big day both in-person and from live broadcast.
Our photographer informed us the photos should be coming within the week so we’ll have a gallery posted here for everyone to see.
We have all the footage from the broadcast as well so expect a video within a few months! That will take a little while as we have 5 hours on 4 separate cameras to comb through!
This was an amazing day and we are both overjoyed.

[Regarding the Swedish Wedding Invitations]
Hej allihopa,
Jag har nyheter om de svenska bröllopsinbjudningarna. På 27 april, skickade Endora nya inbjudningar till Sverige. Ingen fick dem och efter 7 veckor var de skickade igen genom tjänsten. Den andra grupp kom aldrig heller. Endora ringde kundtjänst till PostNord, Postable, och PTS. Ingen had något idée var inbjudningarna är.
Idag tror vi de är förlorade.
Så, Andeas och Endora vill att alla ska kolla med släktingar och era barn för att påminna dem om att bröllopet är nästa månad. Alla information ligger här på webplats. Vi behöver RSVPs snart — 15 Jul — och ska ringa människor den helgen efter att kolla med alla.
Hello everyone!
Hopefully, everyone has made their arrangements to come to Härnösand by now and figured out their modes of transportation. Unfortunately, there has been some unforseen circumstances regarding track maintenance on the exact train line we typically would use to get here from Arlanda the very same week of the wedding.
Endora contacted SJ customer service and was told the schedule and tickets will be available in late June or early July. The trains WILL be running (as far as she was told). We have updated the methods of transport section on the Lodging and Transport page to reflect this.
If you are still having issues trying to figure out how to get to Härnösand, please reach out to us and we’ll be happy to find a way for you to get up here. Otherwise, most of the methods are listed on the website page so you can adventure around Sweden to your heart’s desire!
Happy Midsummer, everyone! Glad midsommar allihoppa!
Hello everyone and welcome!
This website has all the information regarding our wedding. We are
both excited to share our special day with friends and family, and we
understand not everyone is able to make it in person. To remedy this, we have decided to offer a LIVE broadcast of both ceremony and reception.
Information regarding how to tune in live will be posted HERE COMING SOON.
We ask for NO PHOTOGRAPHY or VIDEO to be taken during the ceremony.
Please RSVP through the website link. We understand the method is a
little different from traditional cards, but there are multiple people
invited from different countries and this was the easiest way to collect
all responses. If anyone has problems or difficulty with using the
website, we are glad to help!
Please note: There
ceremony and reception will primarily be in English so everyone
understands, though we will have a mix of Swedish here and there, of
course!
Contact Information
If there are any questions regarding events, lodging and travel, or anything else, feel free to contact either one of us! Please give us a call at ge on Endora’s Google Voice) or send us a message/SMS through WhatsApp: Endora +46 73 095 77 55 // Andreas +46 73 021 02 65

About the Wedding Registry....
We do not want anyone to feel obligated to come with a gift nor feel they shouldn’t come because they can’t afford to give one. Love has no price tag in our eyes. Your presence is what matters most to both of us and we want to make memories based on a night celebrating the bonds of friendship, kinship, and the unification of both.
If you do wish to contribute anything — and seriously you don’t have to — we have information regarding registries on our registry page.

Meet the Bride and Groom
Bride
Endora is from the United States and moved to Sweden to be with Andreas in January 2021. Originally from Chicago, Endora spent the last couple years in the US living in Nebraska before moving overseas. She likes cats, good books, and dragons. Endora spends her time trying to find unique ways to make Andreas laugh between learning Swedish and producing creative content around videogames. Currently, she is studying to become an undersköterska, (Swedish for Certified Nursing Assisitant). She thinks moving to Sweden was the best decision of her life and wants to tell everyone funny jokes about learning to live among Swedes at the wedding reception.
(And yes, she's still writing that book. One day, she will finish it, but it is not this day.)
Groom
Andreas is a thoroughbred Swede and native of Härnösand. He is both a table top and videogame nerd, which is not surprising because he works as an IT Technician. He met Endora at a meetup for their gaming radio community in Marshalltown, Iowa in 2016, but proceeded not to talk to her the entire time and she thought he was ignoring her. He was actually just very shy. Totally Swedish. He finally worked up the courage a year later to ask her out a few months before the next group meetup, and he came to the US a week earlier than planned just to see her first. (It's amazing what playing a few rounds of PUBG can do). Andreas likes TTRPGs, long walks on Valheim's virtual beaches (it's a game), cooking shrimp curry, and teaching his nephews how to annoy their parents, mainly their mother (his sister).
Meet the Wedding Party
Miranda Roberts
Miranda is a younger sister to Endora and Maid of Honor. She is a middle school science teacher in Chicago and a part-time librarian on the side. Hobbies include Dungeons and Dragons and aerial silk yoga.
Filippa Wigstål
Filippa is Andreas’s sister. She is a master of horses and dogs, and currently is studying to become a certified nursing assistant. Filippa has two Borzoi dogs and a Mexican fireleg tarantula. Her favorite TV show is MasterChef Australia.
Julia Spina
Julia is one of Endora’s oldest friends. She works as a financial researcher in Chicago and is all knowing about fantastical physics. She spent the duration of her graduate degree shooting single photons at people.

Christopher “Humi” Wigstål
Chistopher is better known as “Humi.” He is Filippa’s husband and Andreas’s Best Man (ever). He can play the violin and is fluent in three languages: Swedish, English, and Japanese. (He is our anime translator).
Logan Jensen
Logan is a good friend of Endora and Andreas. He went to college with Endora in Minnesota. Coming from a family of farmers, he is studying to become a paleontologist and literally knows everything about dinosaurs. Just ask him.
Joseph Spina
Joe is the unofficial brother of Endora and actual brother of Julia. He is a historical weapons and armor buff and works as a student in a medical entomology lab at the University of Illinois. (He spends summers collecting mosquitoes for field work. What a life.)
