Grete & Oliver | A Wedding in Southern-Estonia, Vehendi
“I first saw Oliver at the newcomers’ party at Nõo Highschool, to where Oliver had come straight from ear surgery – with a bandaged head and full of painkillers. But he still came because he really wanted to see his future classmates.”
“Oliver had come in with a bandaged head and full of painkillers.”
“We went to the same classes the whole of high school, but only noticed each other in 12th grade around the New Year at a classmate’s birthday party. Where Oliver threw a snowball at me. Inside. I got angry, threw one back, and thus followed a fateful snowball fight. Since it was a school holiday we continued talking on MSN. For about a month we kept going on walks around Nõo and almost always had a small snowball fight. And when Oliver then asked if I would like to start dating him, I pushed him into a pile of snow, and said “yes”. Now it’s been nearly 8 years since that day.”

“These have been the most awesome years of our lives! We have had our share of struggles: I was an exchange student for six months, Oliver spent a year in the army and a whole summer as a truck driver in Europe. We were inseparable in Australia for 2 years and now owning our sushi business poses its own set of challenges. But we are still in love and happy :)”
“...we are still in love and happy.”
“When in Australia we already knew that we wanted to get married and do it on the date of my great-grandparents’ 50th anniversary – July 22nd, 2018. But the proposal still came as a surprise. I thought it would be in Japan looking at cherry blossoms but in reality, Oliver asked me to become his wife months before that. On the day exactly 6 years after that fateful snowball fight. Because I like surprises. It was beautiful and so us – walking along the ocean shore eating cherries.”
