Stockholm, Sweden

We’re (finally) getting married in beautiful Stockholm! Let’s just say the original timeline got slightly rearranged thanks to a joyful little plot twist at home. So, we hit pause, embraced the chaos, and now we’re more than ready to celebrate.

It’s worth the wait, and we’re so happy to share this moment with all of you — from Manila, Stockholm, and everywhere in between.

You’ll find all the important details on this website — what’s happening, where, and how to RSVP.

We can’t wait to see you in Stockholm.

FYI: Our Stay

Out of convenience (traveling with kids!), Zane and Annika will be staying in Hammarby Sjöstad (Heliosgatan) during the wedding weekend. It's on the edge of the city, providing a bit more space while remaining well-connected to the central venues.

Stockholm Guide

Get around

The easiest way to get around is by tunnelbana (subway), which connects all central areas quickly. A tram runs from Central Station to Djurgården, stopping near the main museums. Buses are also reliable and cover most areas, and the city center is very walkable.

Tip One travel card or mobile ticket works across subway, buses, trams, and ferries. Buy it here, in the SL app or by credit card onboard.

"Inga Kontanter"

You'll probably see this during your stay in Sweden. NO CASH. Only grocery stores and pharmacies have to accept cash, so bring credit card or phone payment options.

Plugs & Socket

Sweden uses Type C and Type F (Schuko) sockets with a standard voltage of 230V and 50Hz.

Laundry Service

There aren’t many classic self-service laundromats around the city, so if you need something easy, hotel laundry services are often the most convenient option.

Another good option is washaway.se, a pickup and delivery laundry service. They collect your laundry, wash it, and bring it back clean and folded.

RSVP

Our official RSVP deadline was January 31, 2026.

If you still haven't RSVP'd, please get in touch with Zane or Annika directly.
