Under the face of Odin – Icelandic Ace Faurus wedding in Sweden
« I have been a religion since I remember and my fiancé has always been an atheist, so when this wedding came to talk, I asked him if he didn’t care if we did this in Asatru. »
So Helga Sonja Stefánsdóttir says that he was a member of Bettan, the Named Hotel Tylösand in Halmstad in Southwest Sweden, not a long time north of Helsing City, the Danish capital of Copenhagen and Malmö in Sweden, Saturday in the first Ace religion wedding in town.
It was the case of Swedish Godn Thommys Vähäsalos, entitled « Riksblotansvarig » and belongs to the Asa Religious Nordic Society Nordiska ASA Samfundet, to give Helga and Friðbjörn together, but to the full, the god had a special assistant, Lucas Gustafsson. Vähäsalo, of course, talked to mbl.is after Helga told about the ceremony she believes has been extremely successful.
50 Icelanders – Isn’t it just a problem?
« We invited lots of friends and relatives and did not expect so many to come, » says Helga, laughing, « half come from Iceland, some from Norway and some from Bosnia, everyone thought it was so exciting to go to the Ace religion that there were about 90 people, »
Wedding guests formed a ring that is seen here in a small part, after which the god called Ginnheglag deity into the ring and closed it.

« My stew is from Bosnia, their mom got married ten years ago and it was very exciting for everyone from Bosnia to come because they are naturally in the Orthodox Church which is completely different and serious, but the Asa is much more freer, »
And how did the ceremony take place?
« She was just awesome, » replies Helga without the slightest hiccup, « we had a little flower girl who walked ahead and we then walked in with a drum beat that was in the hands of Lucas’s assistant.
The Blood Governor takes the power
This has been the case with the episode of the Vähäsalos state blood, so an attempt is made to translate his dignified Swedish title.
« Then everyone stood in a circle and Thommy blessed the group and then called the gods into the ring and closed it, » says Helga. Then everyone drunk a hip like an ancient custom, but a journalist is thinking of knowing how the goddess was discussed at the ceremony and to what extent she has separated from the numbers of the priesthood of the national church.

« Guests are much more involved in Ace religious weddings, » replies Helga, « the god goes around and gives everyone a hip and everyone gets the opportunity to say something to the bride and groom, » she says, noting that the presence is not obliged to drink the hip, Snorra-Eddu.
God happy with party guests
« So this is much more free than in church weddings, no rigidity, » but Helga continues, and then deviates from the protest. Then the god has urged everyone who has some kind of impression of the advice to express themselves, now or never. « And I felt he was waiting for a long time for an answer, » says Helga, laughing. No one protested was over.
How did you feel this experience, getting married to the Ace religion?
« I think this is wonderful, it goes without saying that I need a band, I am just like Helium Journal, » replies Helga, as the ceremony the newly created interview takes place. In doing so, they are the right couple, according to Swedish law – given together in the first Ace religion wedding in Halmstad.
« It was a very good inauguration, » says Thommy Vähäsalo the god, « Riksblotanvarig » so that the sound title is broken up again when Helga has had him up and brought him his phone. He adds when asked that over a dozen marriage ceremony will take place annually in Sweden under the auspices of Nordiska ASA Samfundet.

I am told that you have been waiting for a long time after you asked if anyone saw a badge.
« Yes, we always do, » replies the goddess grave. « In marriage ceremonies, we all ask if anyone is opposed to the fact that the marriage materials are gathered and no one gives themselves to the Blood bowl of the couple in honor, » he continues.
Have you experienced someone objected?
« No, I don’t have that now, » replies the god – this time with a laughter, « there are primarily friends and relatives who are present at the wedding, the spirit is positive and no one has taken a protest in the dedication I have taken care of, » Lyg, sideline if I true.
