August 27th
I walk around as if on high clouds. Work has started again but that's not why I'm so happy.
No, it's rather that Fia asked the other day if I wanted to marry her and I said yes. After some thought, it will be a civil marriage, but there is not much that differentiates between a wedding and a civil marriage. And today is how it should happen. I have taken time off from work. The colleagues know that I will get married but they have not met Fia or know that she is carrying our children.
The wedding will take place in the courthouse and only our closest are invited. Tony and Jesper will be witnesses at the wedding. Even though we only booked the other day, a wedding officiant is already booked. No picture of us will be published in the newspaper. There is a risk that Sverker will see the ad in the newspaper if a photographer from the newspaper is there, and we really don't want that. Especially not now that Fia is pregnant.
This is the first day my parents will meet Fia as well. I have of course told her how much I love her and they have understood, They have been married for almost 50 years so they know how such love feels.
My parents still don't know the truth about us nor that she is carrying our children. I feel I must explain that at another time. It is already slightly visible that Fia is pregnant, but not completely obvious if you have not met her before.
There is a lot to fix before the wedding. Fia has been second-hand and found a perfect wedding dress. I found a very nice suit at the same second hand and it fits perfectly. The party afterwards will be at my parents' house because they have the biggest gathering space. Besides, it was their own idea. DJ Marre is booked for the party and he will play music at the party.
To relieve dad of the food, I have already ordered a large plank that will be delivered to my parents in the afternoon. I have also ordered hot smoked salmon which will also be delivered to the parents. Later in the evening we will have a barbecue. Dad has arranged a lot of meat and chicken to be grilled but I have paid for most of it even though he wanted to invite the whole party.
The wedding will take place at 5 p.m. when the courthouse is normally closed, but we will be admitted by people who will be there at the wedding. Right now it's 1 p.m. and it feels like the hands on the clock are really dragging their feet.
I've already shaved and showered of course but for now I'm wearing casual clothes in the apartment. I will put on the shirt and suit just before I go up to the Courthouse. The ring I chose is safely in the pocket of the suit. The ring is slightly gold colored and very nice.
Tony has promised to give a speech at my parents' house after the wedding. I've never heard him give a speech before but I hope it goes well.
At 2.30 pm I eat some food from the freezer. The microwave beeps and I take out the baby pancake with bacon that I heated. Given that I will eat more tonight, I chose something light. But wait until after the wedding. No, I don't want to be hungry that long.
I have lost weight since my first transformation and at the same time my metabolism has increased. It has made me eat more than I did before, although it doesn't show. Nowadays, it is common for me to eat a whole bag of chips in the evening. My body needs more salt and that is one reason why I eat chips often but I also drink a few glasses of water with salt in it every day.
When it's 4 p.m., I can't sit still and walk back and forth in the apartment. At 16.30 I take the elevator down to the ground floor and go out. It's not a very long walk to the courthouse from where I live and I arrive at 4.45pm.
Most of the guests and Jesper and Tony are already there. Fia hasn't gotten there yet, but I see her parking in the main square a bit away, so she'll be there soon.
We are admitted at exactly 5 pm. Everyone is gathered.
God I'm so nervous. Probably Fia is just as nervous.
The officiant talks about the magic of married couples and much more. Can't he come to when we have to make promises to each other soon? Mom stands and cries a little and wipes her tears with a napkin. Dad stands straight and comfortable next to him. He usually doesn't show much emotion apart from anger sometimes. Crying is very difficult for him.
After even more talk, it's finally time. My pulse goes up to over a hundred.
- Before God and in the presence of this congregation, I ask you, Kenneth Elroth: Do you want to take Fia Svantesson as your wife and love her in need and desire?
- Yes.
- Before God and in the presence of this congregation, I ask you, Fia Svantesson: Do you want to take Kenneth Elroth as your husband and love him in need and desire?
- Yes.
We give each other our rings. It's a big moment.
- I, Kenneth Elroth, take you, Fia Svantesson, now as my wife to share joy and sorrow with you and be faithful to you until death do us part.
Fia makes exactly the same promise as me.
Finally we are married. Everyone claps and Fia and I kiss for a long time.
When we come out of the courthouse, mom throws some rice at us. It feels a little weird, but it's normal to do that.
I go with Fia to her car. She drives to my parents' house. I explain where she should turn and which roads are the fastest to drive on. We arrive almost at the same time as the parents. Tony, Jesper and DJ Marre will arrive soon. Tony is driving their car.
Together we go upstairs and gather in the parents' garden. They have erected a large plastic marquee where all the guests can fit. Mother has done well with flowers and lanterns and other things. DJ Marre picks up his equipment and puts the speakers on the parents' balcony and angles the speakers so they are facing the marquee. He also sets up a spotlight and some disco balls on the roof of the marquee.
Dad is in the kitchen getting the plank, the salmon and a homemade potato salad. He's really good at doing things like that. All the guests are hungry, including me, so we bite into the food and eat.
DJ Marre has put on some light music at a relatively low volume and it's a good choice of songs. It's mostly Swedish songs but also some foreign ones. Some songs I have heard while others are for the first time.
When the food is eaten, Tony clinks his glass. It's time for his speech.
- Dear Kenneth and Fia and everyone else who meets here at this moment. I've been waiting and waiting for you, Kenneth, to finally find someone. A few weeks ago when we met and went fishing, I saw something new in your eyes. I didn't know what it was about at first but soon I began to understand that it was about a girl. Soon you introduced Fia and what an introduction. My chin dropped several meters.
Me and Fia laugh a little. We know parts of what he says aren't quite true but it feels better this way.
- I know that you and Fia will have a great time together. You understand that when you see them together. The only thing missing right now is for you to move in together but I'll let you decide how you want to go about it.
Move in together? Sure, why not? I look at Fia and see that she seems to be thinking the same thing. Well said, Tony.
- However it turns out with moving in together, I wish you a good life and that you get an increase later. Cheers!
Both Fia and I toast Tony. The other guests of course also toast to us and we to them.
DJ Marre stands up. He walks over to his equipment.
- Super good food. But now it's time to dance a little. We start a little softly with the song "Kärleken förde oss sammen" with Ulf Lundell. It fits nicely today.
No one in the family really likes Ulf Lundell except me, but the text actually fits this well. Dad frowns a little at the song choice, but soon he's dancing with mom. Fia and I also get up and dance.
Soon it becomes a little uptempo and Jesper gets chills and it looks like he's dancing to the song "Jungfru skär" but it's not that one at all. Several laugh a little at his dancing style, but everyone is happy and pleasant.
DJ Marre plays mostly music from the 70s and 80s but also some from the 90s. Most of them are songs that I recognize and have even danced to at various school discos and such. It's not so much disco but more pop and such that is played.
Mom seems curious about Fia's belly and gently feels it a few times and gets something dreamy in her eyes. She has already understood one of our secrets. She neither asks nor comments about Fia's stomach, but I see in her eyes that she understands that Fia is pregnant.
When DJ Marre plays Opus' song "Live is life", all the guests scream along so it echoes. It is so famous that almost the entire population of the world probably knows it.
Jesper continues with his own dance style and it seems that most people find him funny. A few get annoyed because they can't dance properly when he goes about in his own way.
- Now I think we'll play a little ballad again. Here comes "Song To The Siren" by This mortail coil.
Fia and I are under the spotlight when the song starts. I have never heard this song before but soon I will know for sure. This is our song. The singer's voice is magical Everything that hurts becomes beautiful, so beautiful that it hurts. Fia and I dance closely together.
On the floating shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang, "Sail to me
Sail to me; let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you"
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full-sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
When the song is over, Fia and I look at each other.
- This is our song. We forget the Goombay Dance Band. This is real music.
We say the same thing almost at the same time and smile big.
A few songs later comes a song with Tomas Ledin that I haven't heard before. It is called "The color of my eyes" and is quite calm. It actually gets a bit annoying after a while, but it still sticks in your head like Karlsson's glue. Fia and I can't help but giggle at the song. Some of the visitors also seem to find it annoying.
After several hours of music, dad brings out the grill. Tony goes over there. I know he likes to grill and chat with my dad when he has time. I also go over there after a while and wonder if I can help with something. Dad and Tony say they've got the grill and everything. I walk over to Fia again and continue dancing.
DJ Marre plays a few more songs but soon dad comes and asks for the microphone.
- Now it's time to grill for those who want it. We have meat and chicken on the big table together with the spit. Just take what you want and put the skewer on the grill. Tony and I will help keep track of your skewers.
Not all the guests want a barbecue, but I take a skewer and choose some meat and chicken. Fia is not keen so she declines. DJ Marre lowers the volume slightly as some of the guests eat.
Later in the evening there will be disco songs with, among others, Baccara, Donna Summer and KC & The Sunshine band. Jesper and I dance a bit and Fia stands next to us and claps the beat. Some of the visitors drink alcohol, but not Fia and I.
The party goes on for a long time, but shortly after midnight, Fia feels tired and decides to head home. I accompany her to the older house. I sleep over there with her. We lie and talk to each other. Mostly about moving in together. In that case, we will live in this house. It is worn but both Fia and I see the potential with it. It could be great. It's just a matter of time and desire.
