In Sweden, every wedding gets a toastmaster duo — the couple’s closest friends, handed the mic and the schedule to run the whole day. Say hello to Jonas & Rebecca, ours.
It’s not a job title you’ll find in the UK — so for our guests who’ve never been to a Swedish wedding, here’s the quick version.
Think part best man, part wedding planner, part hype squad. Jonas & Rebecca will run the show — announcing when it’s time to eat, dance, or top up your glass.
In Sweden, speeches aren’t just for the wedding party — anyone can grab the mic. Our toastmasters keep a running list and call people up when the moment’s right.
Games, surprises and perfectly timed music. When Jonas & Rebecca are around, there’s never a dull moment.
Two of our favourite people, now in charge of the mic.
It started with a "No Alex, don't do it. She could be a psycho" "Or have brothers waiting to beat you up".
Thankfully, Kimberley proved them wrong! A couple with our best interests at heart, Jonas and Rebecca have been a solid pair in our relationship. Lots of dinners, nights out and cosy evenings, lead to us not even needing to think twice about who we would ask to help run our special day.
Known for being lots of fun, we knew they'd be perfect for filling the evening with entertainment and we can guarantee there won't be a dull moment!
If you would like to suggest a game, song you would like to hear, or even give a speech - then please get in contact with them. They can't wait to hear from you!
Expect lots of laughter and a whole lot of loveSo if you’d like to join in our celebrations and make a speech, play a game, or simply show some love to us — message (WhatsApp) Rebecca or Jonas, any time before the big day.
