THE DESTINATION
Mallorca - Santanyì
Cal Reiet
With different European roots and our friends and family living all over the world, finding the place to get married presented us with many ideas for a destination wedding. We finally landed on Mallorca as the place to celebrate our special day!
​
Over the years of our relationship, Mallorca has always been our holiday escape and feels like a home away from home. While Mallorca is also popular with all types of Swedes and Germans…it is a beautiful Mediterranean island and it has given us many amazing memories that we would love to share with you.
​
We would be so happy if you can join us at Cal Reiet to celebrate our wedding! We fell in love with Cal Reiet at first sight and it is the perfect combination of Mallorquin, Swedish and German touches making it the perfect location for our celebrations. We live far away from a lot of you and don’t get to see you nearly as much as we wish we could so we cannot wait to spend a whole weekend celebrating with you!

OUR STORY
From Singapore to London
One would think that our obvious connection point would have been Bath where we both lived and studied for some time. However, it took a trip half-way around the world for us to meet while on exchange in Singapore in 2012. A spontaneous message (or was it…) from Jen to catch up unraveled the realisation that our paths had been intertwined long before we met, including pictures of both of us in the same frame without ever speaking before. It is the kind of story that makes you believe in fate. What followed was a flirtatious journey that took us all over Asia to fall in love… the rest is history as you all know!
​
Now 8 years later and counting, we have gone through ups and downs including three years of long-distance relationship, re-uniting in London, buying and renovating our dream flat and, so far, surviving isolation. Our love for travel, often combined with meeting our friends in incredible places has given us many unforgettable memories around the world as travel buddies and best friends. One of these incredible memories was in June 2019 while on holiday in Sardinia when Will popped the question (some asked what took him so long…). In a secluded cove during the sunset while floating in the Mediterranean sea, Jen said yes!
​
Over the years you have all played an important part in our lives and relationship. We are excited for this unique opportunity to bring you all together to meet, celebrate and continue to write the next chapter of our story.

ISLAND FAVOURITES
Mallorca - Pearl of the Balearics
Mallorca has so much to offer and each time we visit we keep on discovering new places. We would highly recommend you to add a few extra days to explore the island before and/or after the wedding.
For those of you who can't get enough of us we plan to be near Palma the week before as well as the week after recovering after all the celebrations. So if you want to hang out more you can bear our plans in mind.
To give you some inspiration, we have put together Our Top 10 Island Favourites for those extending their stay beyond the wedding weekend on this beautiful island and looking for things to do.

FAQ
Dresscode, what should I wear?
Summer Formal. Men can wear a suit of any colour (except white of course...) and the ladies can chose a summery mid-length or long dress / jumpsuit.
What will the weather be like in August?
The months of July and August are the hottest months in Mallorca so we expect it to be sunny with temperatures around 30° degrees during the day and cooling down to 20° degrees at night. With that in mind we are hoping to have all of our events outdoors. Check out the latest weather forecast.
