"We met at a restaurant, of course!" gallery director Line Dalgaard shares as she recalls her first encounter with her restaurateur husband Alexander Olsen. "I celebrated my birthday with some friends when Alexander and his friend-now best man-came over. As it turned out, they knew one of the girls. A few months later, he invited me out for dinner, and many drinks after, we ended up on the dance floor. This became the beginning of a partnership that involves so much humor, caring, traveling, and embracing each other's differences. We share the same values to create the lives we want to live, which became clear very quickly."
"After six years together, I became pregnant with our daughter," Dalgaard shares. "One cold December evening when I felt nauseous [and was] trying to distract myself with wrapping Christmas gifts, Alex all of sudden came over and said, 'You're really good at that.' I immediately knew something was up. He nervously started telling me what I meant to him. He went on one knee and proposed. It was very low-key, very intimate, and just the two of us-as it should be in my book."
Once engaged, the couple started to discuss ideas for their wedding and settled on Bornholm, an island between Denmark and Sweden. There, the couple brought over 100 of their closest family members and friends. They celebrated their love against the backdrop of the charming island in the Baltic Sea with a '90s-inspired wedding dress, a layered raspberry cake, and a bouquet inspired by one carried by the bride's mother.
