We all have that one truck brand we love, but one couple took it a step further with their truck-filled wedding!
Over in Norway, two of the most passionate Scania fans recently ties the knot, although it was no ordinary wedding.
Robert and Ann-Kristin took their die-hard passion for all things Scania and made it an integral part of their wedding day, deciding to get married at the Scania Visitor Centre in Södertälje, Sweden.
It was Scania that brought them together, so getting married in the museum at Scania’s visitor centre, located at Scania’s headquarters in Södertälje, was the logical choice for the pair.
“It was fantastic,” Robert said afterwards. “It was a combination of the things that matter the most to Ann-Kristin and me: the two of us, and Scania.”
“Getting married at Scania started as a crazy idea,” he continued. “I asked Ann-Kristin if we should ask if we could get married at Scania. So we contacted Scania’s headquarters in Norway, who, in turn, contacted Scania in Sweden.”
Robert up with Scania trucks, you could almost say in a Scania. In 1972 his father bought a Scania 110 truck and started a small transport company hauling timber in the region of Trøndelag in middle of Norway.
“Instead of attending day-care like most other children, I spent my childhood days in the passenger seat next to my father,” he said.
The staff at Scania’s visitors centre in Södertälje had spared no effort to make it a memorable day for the couple. Thanks to the team at Scania, Robert and Ann-Kristin were able to make a grand entrance to the museum in a shining green 1927 vintage Scania Vabis Noblesse postal service bus.
“They had even prepared a special wedding cake for us, with miniatures of the first and the latest Scania model,” says a delighted Robert. “It’s just amazing what Scania did for us. We had a truly fantastic day, Ann-Kristin and I.”
