440 couples were married at Skansen drop-in wedding in Stockholm today.

For the sixth year in a row drop-in weddings were organized at Skansen open-air museum today. 440 couples were married in the summer sun. Of these 74 couples chose a church wedding, and 366 couples were married in a civil ceremony.

Skansen’s newest tradition – drop-in weddings – started as an event in conjunction with Crown Princess Victoria’s wedding with Daniel in 2010.

This year the event was held for the sixth time, and it coincided with Prince Carl Philip’s and Sofia Hellqvist’s wedding today.

Next year, in 2016, the drop-in wedding will take place on June 11.
