OLGA AND FOLKE MARRIED IN PARIS 1909


Olga and Folke in Paris 1909.


The photos above are no doubt taken at the flat of a friend of the family (Madame Berthelot). This was a very small and intimate marriage ceremony nothing like the grand weddings people arrange these days.
The best man on the left is Folke's friend Lars Bratt. Olga's sister Una Dawson is on the right.

I have used this image for scarves, posters, cards and other products. Have a look
















Olga and Folke married in a very small Catholic Church Saint Honoré d'Eylau at place Victor Hugo. 

In my book MY DARLING OLGA, you can follow Folke's daily letters from Sweden to Olga who was in Paris arranging for the wedding. There are a lot of surprising details.
