Wedding in Altea
Altea and surrounding areas, are so loved by so many Norwegians. And maybe not so strange. It’s just a short flight from Norway to Alicante, then a short drive up to the beautiful Altea, with all the orange trees, almond trees and the beautiful countryside, the good wine, the tasty tapas … and so on.
The bride and groom had chosen to celebrate at an earlier olive oil mill, now redesigned into a beautiful, small, rustic style hotel, with a corresponding wonderful reataurant and garden.
Still there are olive presses as part of the interior of the restaurant and, by taking a tour around the area, you will find equipment and tools from a bygone era when they produced olive oil here.
The hotel is family run and has only 22 rooms. In return, the large rooms are hold in a rustic style. All rooms were reserved for Wenche and Kjell Arne these days. Geir and I were fortunate to stay here during these days. Which of course was incredibly convenient, as with several suitcases with photographic equipment and needs to have it nearby all time.
We were so lucky to be in Altea from Thursday to Sunday and had some wonderful days.
The bride and groom had chosen to use a professional wedding planner to take care of their wedding. My good collaborator, wedding planner Marianne Wulfken at Beautiful Wedding, was responsible for everything would go smoothly. And it is not few details that she had to ensure, messages to give, control all the suppliers, right song at the right time from the musicians, the right things to happen at the right time. In all, all imaginable and unimaginable small and big things that one should have control over, here comes the wedding planner in. And it is not difficult to notice that Marianne knows her job, she has done this before and the bridal couple could be confident that Marianne had full control and they could enjoy their day without any worries.
It was not difficult to see that they really enjoyed the day and the atmosphere.
Geir and I had to get up early the next day, full of good memories and not to forget about, full memory cards that were neatly backed up on various hard disks and placed in different bags, we couldn´t risk anything to be lost from this fantastic wedding. The journey back went first to Madrid, and so on to Gran Canaria.
I just have to thank you Wenche and Kjell Arne, I’m really happy that we got to be part of this, and we wish you lots of happiness, joy and humor for the years ahead.
