On Valentine’s Day, Lejondals Slott in Bro hosted a special drop-in wedding event where couples could say “I do” without months of planning or big celebrations. Seventeen pairs exchanged vows in quick ceremonies spaced just fifteen minutes apart throughout the day. The venue provided everything needed for the weddings, including a ready-made ceremony space, an officiant, and a photographer.
Emelie Renman Åqvist and her partner Yoann Bureau were among those who got married on the spot. Speaking to SVT Stockholm right after their ceremony, Emelie said, “It feels absolutely fantastic.” She added that they had talked about getting married for a long time and finally decided to go for it. The relaxed, spontaneous setting let them focus on the moment rather than elaborate arrangements.
This kind of drop-in wedding reflects a growing trend in Swedish culture toward simpler, more personal life events. At Lejondals Slott, all the practical details were handled by the organizers, making it easy for couples to show up and get married with minimal fuss. The event offered a stress-free alternative to traditional weddings, fitting well with modern Swedish lifestyle preferences.
