Bryllupsfest Part Three: Pizza Eve

Mother and Daughter Discuss the Menu
July 8 was a cool-weather day.  We had made reservations to eat outside at Peppes Pizza at Solsiden, a popular dining/shopping area built where the ship-building/repair wharves used to be, but the weather was so poor, we decided to eat inside.  Tove and I were getting very anxious about the state of the weather for our bryllupsfest.  We had chosen a place with a commanding view of Trondheim, the harbor and the fjord, but if the weather was lousy . . ..

For a "pizza eve" we invited the out of town guests to join us.  The guests included our good friends and the equivalents of "best man" and "matron of honor", Magne and Helga from Finnsnes in Northern Norway; Inger Lise and Jussi from Narvik (also Northern Norway), my cousin Diane and her husband John who came all the way from Eugene, Oregon to join us; my step-sister, Shirley, who came all the way from Newport Beach, California, Tove's daughter Unn and her husband, Ole Morten, who came from Oslo to join in the celebration, Ingvild, Arild and Mari, and Devon, Patrick and Piper.  The pizza and salad were great!  I remember the pizza in Norway back in the 70s was quite bland and boring, but it truly is very good now.

My battery went dead, so I didn't get pictures of the others when they arrived.
