La familia Soiland-Reyes

We got married on Saturday, 2008-02-23 in Puebla, Mexico! We are so happy!

We’re just about to go on our honey moon, but here are a tiny few pre-taste photos taken by Stians brother while we’re waiting for the photos from the professional photographer and until we get time to sort our own 900 photos:

From 2008-02-23 We…

As said, more photos will come! Also thank you so much to all of the 160 guests (phew!) and all the others who wanted to come but couldn’t make it, your presence and greetings meant a lot to us!

A petición popular, hemos creado una lista de regalos para nuestra boda y hemos actualizado la seeción de preguntas frecuentes FAQ. Estamos muy entusiasmados ahora que queda menos de un mes para nuestro gran día, y nos complace mucho que tantos amigos quieran celebrar con nosotros!Ah, aún queda tiempo para que nos envíen su pequeño saludo por video!

We hope you’ve had a nice Christmas time and are looking forward to a great 2008! If you happen to have your good old video camcorder out, or some modern electronic camera or mobile phone that has a “video” button, perhaps you could take the chance now to make a little video greeting to be shown in our wedding?

We’ll add the subtitles, so all nationalities will be able to enjoy your carefully crafted warning-to-the-bride, or perhaps your spontaneous creative musical number with elephants! Any submissions are welcome, if you are also attending our celebrations in Mexico this will be your chance to connect with the other part of the audience not speaking your language, or if you can’t be there, this can be your Oscar Academy Awards-style speech from overseas. Remember the champagne!

Here’s more information on how to make and send us your video! We ask you to send the video so that we’ll have it before 1st of February, so we’ll have time to edit it together!

Hi, we promised to come back with some information on where to and how to travel around Mexico. The truth is that has not been easy trying to come with recommendations, there’s plenty of places to visit in Mexico; probably you will want to come back in a future to see other bits. Read about places in Mexico.

First of all, we’re sorry for not being very frequent in updating our website.

After several weeks of hard work involving visits to fancy paper stores, paper cutters and inkjet printers, we have finally completed the wedding invitations.

Last week we sealed and posted all the invitations (with a few exceptions due to missing addresses) using modern technology such as DHL, Royal Mail and when possible, personalised delivery.

¡Feliz Navidad pare nuestra familia y todos nuestros amigos! Esta noche decoramos nuestro arbolito de Navidad en casa. Este año vamos a Noruega para pasar la Navidad con la familia Søiland, asi que un árbol mas grande (y natural) será decorado allá. Vamos a extrañar mucho a la familia en México, pero ya sólo falta poco para febrero!

Hemos recolectado información sobre como llegar y donde hospedarse en Puebla en la página de Visiting Mexico. Pronto pondremos más información sobre lugares que visitar y sobre como transportarse de una ciudad a otra en México. Hágannos saber si tienen alguna petición en especial.

¡La fecha es oficial, pueden empezar a prepararse para la boda! Gaby y Stian dirán Ja el 23 de febrero del 2008 en la Hacienda Real en Puebla, México!

Hemos compartido algunas fotos en la pagina Picasa Web. Aquí algunos ejemplos.

As we (Stian and Gaby, as shown in the picture) are officially engaged and are getting established and old, it was about time that the new family got it’s very own, proper website. So here it is, soiland-reyes.com, the first invention of the Soiland-Reyes foundation. Initially there might be a great focus on our planned wedding, but we should also get started with some pictures pretty soon.

Since our intended audience is typically Norwegian or Mexican, the posts might appear in different languages. I’m not quite sure how we will manage that, but we’ll give it a try.
