Interspersed among towering sand dunes, on the Denmark's northern shore, is the beautiful coastal town of Hirtshals (45 min from Aalborg). There, on Tornby Strand, we plan to exchange vows a short walk from Maren's (Mia's mom's) cabin. Just a quick ferry trip away from Mia's hometown of Kristiansand, Norway, we envision this place as a summer getaway for our future children when we visit "Grandma". Although we want all of you to join us there, we understand that this is a long way to travel for our friends in the United States. Therefore, on July 13, 2024, we've planned a "Blakstad + Baumgarten Family Celebration" closer to home, near Rockville, MD. Everyone is invited to this low-key, second celebration: we are really excited to celebrate our love with all of you however you are able to attend! Check out the Travel page for ideas, and check back here for more details in the coming months! Love, Mia + Aaron
