GIVING A SPEECH
What you are about to find out is that on Swedish weddings, every guest gives a speech. Well, not quite but I think non-Swedish speaking guests often feel that is the case. That's why you might want to give a speech - so that not all of them are in a language you don't understand.
If you do, however, could you please let Johannes Hellstrom know. He was Gustaf's neighbour between 1978 and 1987 and is a dear friend of the couple. You can email him on johannes.hellstrom@thomsonreuters.com or just call his mobile on +46 707 211008. He would appreciate if you didn't call too late as he has a young baby at home that wakes easily.
As can be seen on the photo to the right he is on stand by to take your call. Don't get upset if he has opinions on the length or structure of your speech - they are likely not his but ours.
