Hello!
We're back with a one-off special of What The Denmark all about Danish weddings.
It was too tricky to get funding for a whole season, but our friends at State of Denmark were able to sponsor an episode and we thought, as a follow up to Dating Danes, why not do weddings!
I also got married this and, my word, were lots of "special" Danish things going on...
In the episode of What the Denmark we speak to social historian Caroline Nyvang and Anna Askov, editor of Gift ved første blik or “Married at First Sight” about Danish wedding traditions.
Some of things this episode covers:
- Danish marriage traditions from the 1800s-1900s
- Why do people get married - or not - in Denmark today?
- How ‘Married at First Sight’ has become such a popular Danish export
- What does a traditional wedding day look like in Denmark? And where did these traditions come from?
- How easy is it to get married in Denmark? - Ærø “Europe’s Las Vegas”
- Why are Danish divorce rates so high?
If you have any thoughts on this episode please do comment on our Instagram - we’d love to hear what you think!
In the picture
For the episode image we tried to encapsulate "Denmark" and "Weddings". I'm not sure how many people get married next to their bike, but it was the best we could come up with...
