Today’s post is a personal one, our Vow Renewal at the Icehotel on New Year’s Eve.
It felt quite unreal to be back there five years on from our wedding, this time as a family of four. We always knew it was going to be pretty special to take our girls all the way back to the place where we married, but I think we both underestimated just how amazing it would be. Visiting the Icehotel is such a unique experience, and one that blows you away the first time you do it. I never expected it to blow me away a second time, but it absolutely did.

When I was a little girl I never dreamt that Prince Charming would come along and whisk me off to the Icehotel to marry me. Twice! But now I have the pictures to prove to my own little girls, that fairy tales are real.
And once in a while, the ending is better than you could ever imagine.
